Technically it doesn't state that the UAE National is the one who has been arrested.....

Wife showed me the vid yesterday.

I got rather angry, to say the least.

I bet nothing will happen - bloke has a three digit number plate.

link to video?

of course nothing will happen. when even an expat can get away with murder when witnesses were present an emirati can easily get away with assault on camera.

They've now arrested the guy who took the video as it has 'defamed the family' of the guy assaulting the Indian.

..and here's the kicker, the maximum punishment for the assault is 1 year in clink and a AED 10k fine. The maximum punishment for filming without permission and defaming a person is 2 years and AED 20k and no doubt would be deported and his livelyhood ruined etc...

Awesome!

Heard he had been arrested for taking the film. No doubt he's now in a world of trouble.

What a joke, although no surprise.
