Veiled women beat up salon worker

FUJAIRAH — Fujairah Police have launched a large-scale hunt to track down two veiled women who allegedly beat up a Tunisian woman worker on Wednesday at a beauty salon after tying her up with tape.
The woman was found lying unconscious on the ground by an Emirati woman when she visited the salon. There were bruises on her body as a result of the beating.
The Emirati woman alerted the police who rushed to the scene and rescued the salon worker.
The two unidentified women, it is believed, assaulted the woman after they failed to find the salon manager against whom they apparently held some grudge.
In her statement, the Tunisian victim said that two women visited the salon in the afternoon asking for her manager, an Arab woman married to a UAE national.
She alleged that the two veiled women started fiddling with the drawers. Sensing some trouble, the victim tried to telephone someone but she was overpowered by the two women who beat her up and tied her hands and legs with tape. They later escaped.
The victim alleged that the two suspects ordered her to convey a message to the salon manager that she, too, would meet the same fate.
The police are also questioning the salon manager. Source

Boy bogged down

How many members of the emergency services does it take to pull a young boy out of the toilet? Twenty, if the case of a nine-year-old UAE national is anything to go by. In a scene more familiar to ‘The Towering Inferno’, two police patrols, containing four policemen, two vehicles containing four officers from the Difficult Missions Squad, two policemen from the Land Rescue Department, an ambulance - containing three medics - and a civil defence truck containing seven officers, all turned up to rescue the young lad after receiving a call from his family.
Police said the boy told them his foot had slipped into the Arabic-style toilet and become stuck. After several unsuccessful attempts to pull himself free, he called for help from his family, but unfortunately they were unable to help and so called the police. Police patrols and the head of Land Rescue Department, Expert Captain Ahmad Ateeq, went to the villa and were soon joined by the Civil Defence.“We send people with good experience for these kind of problems. We wanted to free his foot without harming him,” a Civil Defence official said. In the meantime, police phoned the Difficult Missions Squad to lend their expertise. “We received the call and immediately went to the house in Al Barsha. The boy’s foot was stuck inside the toilet hole and he didn’t know what to do,” First Lieutenant Mohammad Al-Reyasa, head of Difficult Missions Squad, told 7DAYS. “When we first arrived, he was very scared but we spoke to him and calmed him down while we did our job.”When asked why it took so many people to free the boy, who was left trapped for several hours, Al-Reyasa said: “It’s just an automatic response in such emergencies. Because the police and the Civil Defence could not release him we were called. They had tried to pull him free but that didn’t work so we smashed the toilet - but very carefully so we did not injure him,” Al-Reyasa added.The boy was treated at Rashid Hospital for minor injuries before being sent home.
