The Ajman Criminal Court sent a 35-year-old Arab national to jail for three years on charges of assaulting and insulting an on-duty police officer in public.

The police stated that the suspect was drunk and disturbed customers of a cafe, so the police were called to stop him.

The suspect attempted to resist the police trying to arrest him and assaulted a policeman by pulling his uniform and grabbing his hands hard, which caused injuries to the latter.

The medical test of the policeman reportedly showed that he had scratches on the left hand due to the assault.
