Motorist detained over a hit-and-run and concealing evidence charges in Dubai
Counselor Salah Boufrousha Al Falasi, Senior Advocate General and Head of the Traffic Prosecution in Dubai, announced two individuals have been arrested over charges of hit and run and concealing evidence. The first is a 33-year-old Indian man, who is involved in a hit-and-run accident that left a person seriously injured. He is also accused of failing to stop at the scene or provide necessary assistance and first aid. The second accused is a Pakistani national who repaired the vehicle involved in the accident without obtaining a repair permit from the relevant traffic control authority. Al Falasi explained that the incident took place on July 20, 2025, when a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on an internal street in the Hor Al Anz area. The pedestrian sustained severe physical injuries as a result of the incident and was transferred to a medical facility for treatment. This incident occurred due to a combination of negligence, inattention and a lack of consideration for other road users, Salah Al Falasi said. He commended the vigilance and rapid response of the Dubai Police security teams, who arrested the driver and manager of the vehicle repair centre within 48 hours, demonstrating their professionalism. Al Falasi also confirmed that the Traffic Prosecution began investigating the accident immediately after the perpetrators were arrested. The first has been charged with failing to stop at the scene of the accident, which resulted in bodily injury and property damage. The second defendant, who manages the vehicle repair centre, charged with obstructing judicial procedures by repairing a vehicle with signs of an accident without obtaining a permit from the relevant traffic control authority. The prosecution ordered the detention of the accused pending investigation, to monitor the health of the injured person and determine their final medical condition, and to hear the testimony of those responsible for the arrest. This is in preparation for taking the necessary measures to refer the accused to trial and demand harsher penalties in accordance with relevant local and federal legislation. Counselor Salah Boufrousha Al Falasi called on drivers to exercise the utmost care and caution when driving on the roads and to comply with all legal and safety requirements to ensure the safety of all road users and protect public and private property. He also stressed the importance of not fleeing the scene of an accident involving bodily injury, except in cases of extreme necessity, and of reporting the relevant authorities in the emirate within three hours of the accident. This is in accordance with the latest amendment to the Traffic Law, which came into force on 29 March 2025. The law stipulates a penalty of imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year and a fine of not less than Dhs50,000 and not more than Dhs100,000, or one of these two penalties.

Review: BrewDog at Bluewaters Island Dubai
Founded in 2007 with a mission to make delicious craft beer, BrewDog now has more than 100 pubs around the world and has finally landed in Dubai to splash their considerable cash on a giant temple of hops on Bluewaters Island. Brewdog – exterior It's reported that BrewDog plan to open eight pubs in Dubai before 2030, and this 'industrial chic' outpost is the brand's impressive Middle East debut. Announcing their arrival with a loud woof, BrewDog has elbowed its way into a prime corner plot on the promenade under Ain Dubai. Fronted with a huge blue neon sign, BrewDog sprawls across two floors and gives patrons superb views of the city from its terraces. BREWDOG – Darts Visiting on a Wednesday night, we were greeted by a lively musical duo rattling through violin and guitar covers of pop hits. We suggest you keep moving however, past the augmented reality dartboards, to the more inviting bar upstairs and by 'inviting' we mean darker and quieter. Flop into a squishy Chesterfield booth and browse the 11 brews on the Daily Draft menu, which has intriguing tasting notes such as milkshake, hazy and mango. Prices range from Dhs50 for 500ml of BrewDog's crisp and clean Lost Lager to Dhs63 for 330ml of their cult Elvis Juice, a punchy grapefruit IPA. There's no standing on ceremony at BrewDog, service is swift yet friendly. This place is about delivering glasses of quality craft hops to thirsty guests and then letting them get on with it. For a 360 tour of the BrewDog universe, order a flight of any four beers for Dhs125 in stemmed glasses that measure a third of a pint. It may not be your most economical decision of the evening but it allows you to explore the variety of zingy flavours that have made BrewDog a global phenomenon. Putting our glasses down for a moment, BrewDog also does food. A quintet of sublime chicken wings (Dhs55) and a pizza named The Big Pastrami One (Dhs95) paired wonderfully with a pint of Punk IPA described as spiky, bitter and tropical in its tasting notes. Following the likes of Tap House (Downtown, Palm, Dubai Hills) and Goose Island (JBR and JVC), BrewDog continues the city's welcome trend for craft beer pubs that offer guests a wide range of hops far more interesting than the usual mainstream brands. Carry on like this, and BrewDog's billionaire founders will continue to see the cash pour in. BrewDog, Bluewaters Island, Sun to Thur 12pm to 12am, Fri and Sat 12pm to 2am. Tel: 052 956 5688. @brewdogbluewaters WHAT'S ON Verdict: BrewDog is a tail-wagging addition to Dubai's growing craft beer scene.
