DUBAI // A 23-year-old salesman has been arrested on suspicion of taking pictures on his mobile phone of a woman while she used a public bathroom.
The man, from an Asian country, is alleged to have sneaked into the bathroom and spied on the woman, a 32-year-old Filipina.
The woman said she saw the camera phone's flash while she was in the bathroom. She started screaming and put her clothes back on. She rushed outside and claims she saw the man leaving the bathroom. She informed security and he was arrested.
Charges have been brought against the man by Dubai's Public Prosecution and he is due to appear at the Criminal Court on February 1.
