A Tunisian woman who returned to her apartment at night got a shock when she found a man sleeping in her bed. But she quickly overcame her shock and called the police after taking a selfie picture with the unidentified man.
 
Police, clarifying the issue which had hit headlines over the past week, arrested the man and said he was drunk and had no intention to rob that flat. They said the man was visiting the building watchman, who is his friend.

“They had alcoholic drinks…the man then sneaked into the woman’s apartment and slept on her bed as he was very tired…he had no intention to steal,” Dubai’s assistant police commander for criminal affairs Major General Khalil Al Mansoori said.

Bur Dubai police chief Colonel Abdullah Al Maasam, quoted by Emart Alyoum daily, said the incident took place on Thursday and that the man was arrested by a police patrol in the area following a call by that woman.

Newspapers said the woman took a selfie picture with the man sleeping on her bed and published it on her Facebook page after his arrest.

They quoted police as saying the man faces charges of trespassing others’ property.
