DUBAI: A muscular dud cheques issuer broke a Dubai Police door, assaulted and insulted cops while headbutting a wall and vowing to implicate cops in an assault case.

The Asian businessman, 47, landed at the Criminal Court on Jan.9 charged with assaulting an Emirati sergeant and two Yemeni corporals inside the Bur Dubai Police Station on Oct.30, 2017.

He called both corporals animals and screamed obscenities targeting their mothers. He bragged about his nationality and intimidated both corporals that he would show them.

He damaged the door of a detention ward. He wrecked its lock and handle. He resisted to be shackled until a senior officer ordered he be shocked with a taser.

In court he denied and asked for bail. “I have spent two and a half months in the dock.” The court overlooked his plea. Prosecution witnesses are expected to testify on Jan.23.

A Yemeni cop (Y) said he was brought to the investigations office over dud cheque complaints. Y asked him to present his belongings for registration. He refused and started shouting.

“I am not from (he uttered nationalities) to give you my phone and belongings!” Y tried to notify him about pre-detention procedures. He pushed Y and hit his left thumb with the mobile.

Y sustained chest pains and a thumb injury. “I think he is a martial artist,” said Y. “He shook the door and kicked it while shouting that he had to leave. He insulted and threatened us.”

He was shocked with a taser and confined. He resisted and tried to break the shackles. He jumped and headbutted the detention ward’s door and wall. He sustained injuries to his head and hand.

The second cop (J) was in an adjacent office when he heard the businessman screaming at Y. He shouted that he was not from certain nationalities to be scared into surrendering his phone.

“He told me he wanted his mobile phone to contact people who defaulted on his money so he could have it and solve the cheques cases. To calm him I allowed him to have his mobile,” said J.

“We confined him to a ward housing 13 detainees. Fifteen minutes later, he insisted he wanted to get out. He banged the door, kicked it and got out. I reminded him of legal accountability.

“He boiled with anger and walked to the investigation office’s door to break out. We failed to overpower him. A lieutenant colonel ordered us to strike him with a taser.  We shocked him twice.
