One of four women jailed for assaulting and
insulting a taxi driver for not allowing them to smoke in his cab has
appealed, denying the driver’s allegations.
A video clip that was uploaded and shared on social media showed the Moroccan women drunkenly attacking and insulting A A at a petrol station in Al Barsha in October.
Records stated that 38-year-old A S insulted the Ethiopian driver, saying he was an “animal” before she took off her high heels and repeatedly hit him with them.
The woman, who was sentenced to six months in jail and then deportation, said she only pushed the driver.
She told Dubai Court of Appeal that she did not confess to assaulting or insulting him but only to drinking alcohol without a licence.
