Air Hostess Raped by Man Who Gave Lift from Nightclub

The Dubai Police has launched a hunt for an unidentified person who is accused of raping a 23-year-old air hostess. The British woman told police officers that on Tuesday night, she and her 24-year-old sister went to a nightclub in Bur Dubai.

Around 3am, she came out looking for a cab and the suspect offered to drop her home. The man spoke very little English.

She got inside the car and asked him to drop her in Garhoud. However, the suspect drove in some other direction. When she tried to get out of the car, he locked the doors.

He took her to a sandy area on the outskirts and raped her. He left her there and drove away.

The woman called her sister who informed the police. The police took her to a hospital where forensic tests were conducted.
