Dubai: A woman bit the arm of a policeman as he tried to arrest her son, a Dubai court heard on Tuesday.
###
Police from Al Rashidiya were dispatched to a house in Al Warqa in September of last year after a dispute was reported between a 22-year-old Emirati man and his brother-in-law.
###
“The brother-in-law had been assaulted by the defendant,” said a police officer. “We found the defendant outside smoking and I showed him my ID and asked him to step inside the patrol when he started resisting,” the officer added.
###
The defendant cursed the officers when they tried to handcuff him and asked his family members to help.
###
“His mother tried to stop us from arresting her son and held my hand before biting my left arm,” said the officer.
