Man breaks into villa and refuses to leave

Aman broke into a villa and made himself comfortable lying down in the garden for a while before attempting to barge into the house and assaulting the owner of the house and a policemen with an iron candle holder, a Dubai Police official said.

Brigadier Ahmad Thani Bin Gulaitha, director of Rafaa police station and head of Police Stations Council in Dubai Police, said Eid Al Fitr went smoothly in Dubai and the only untoward incident was reported at 6.15 am yesterday in Mankhool area in Dubai when a man broke into the villa of an Asian man and made himself cosy in the garden.

The owner alerted Dubai Police and waited for the patrol outside the villa.

“The stranger refused when the owner asked him to leave the house. We sent a police patrol after the owner called for help. When the officers asked the stranger for his details, he became angry and tried to enter the villa,” Brigadier Bin Gulaitha said.

The owner blocked his way but the stranger slapped him in the face and officers couldn’t stop the suspect as he grabbed a candle holder installed near the villa’s door and threatened to assault anybody who tried to stop him.

“He went inside and locked himself inside a room. Other officers went for backup with an ambulance and we arrested him despite his strong resistance.”

Police suspect the intruder was under the influence of drugs.
