Dubai Court Fines Two Men Over Road Accident
The Dubai Traffic Court has fined two Asian men after finding them both responsible for a road accident in which one ran over the other. Court documents show that the incident happened when a taxi driver, who was not driving carefully enough, struck a pedestrian. The victim suffered several injuries. However, investigators also discovered that the pedestrian was crossing the road from a non-designated area, which is against traffic rules. An expert's report concluded that both the driver and the pedestrian shared responsibility for the accident. The court ordered the taxi driver, who did not attend the hearing, to pay a fine of Dh4,000 for unintentionally causing injury. The pedestrian, who was present in court and denied any wrongdoing, was fined Dh200 for breaking pedestrian rules. The judge dismissed his denial after reviewing the evidence.

Verdict Set For Asian Meat Cleaver Attacker
An Asian worker will hear his fate on 26 August after being accused of striking his roommate with a meat cleaver during a dispute over work, leaving him with a lasting injury assessed at five per cent. The First High Criminal Court was told the 32-yearold attacked the man on 7 May, causing a dent in the bone at the centre of his forehead and a visible deformity. According to prosecutors, the pair were arguing inside their shared accommodation when the defendant, said to be heavily drunk, pulled a cleaver from his clothing and struck the victim once above the right eye. Medical examination confirmed a permanent impairment to the forehead. Witnesses backed the victim's account, including another man who lived with them. The defendant admitted to prosecutors that he had attacked his colleague with a knife but claimed he could not recall the incident because of his state of intoxication. He repeated the admission when his detention was renewed.
