Dubai: Dubai Police rescued a man who attempted to commit suicide by slashing his wrist and trying to jump off the roof of his building.
According to Brigadier Saeed Bin Sulaiman, Director of Al Rashidiya Police Station, the 27-year-old man tried to kill himself in Al Warsan area of Dubai.
A team of Dubai Police officers was rushed to the spot, along with ambulance patrols and Dubai Civil Defence personnel.
“His neighbours told us that the man’s workmate had told him that he would lose his job. He was depressed over the news and decided to kill himself as he refused to return to his home country,” said Brig. Bin Sulaiman.
Dubai: Those who run organised criminal groups of beggars inside the UAE will face a fine of not less than Dh100,000 and jail of not less than six months, Dubai Police warned.
Authorities are maintaining a firm stance against begging and called on residents not to fall for scams that take advantage of people’s kind nature, especially during Ramadan.
Dubai Police arrested 177 people for begging this Ramadan during an anti-begging campaign to counter this malpractice during the month.
Colonel Ali Salem, Director of Infiltrators Department at Dubai Police, said that officers distributed across the emirate especially near beggars gathering areas. “Beggars take advantage of people’s generosity, especially during Ramadan. Begging endangers the community’s security as it is connected with other crimes such as robbery and using children and people of determination for the purpose of begging,” Col Salem said.
