Police have arrested a man who drove the wrong way up a major Dubai road and deliberately collided with a patrol car.
Officers noticed a 4x4 - which did not have a registration plate - driving against traffic on Expo Road (Jebel Ali to Lehbab Road).
The driver ignored police instructions to stop.
“He refused to comply ... before hitting the police patrol car, endangering the lives of other road users in the process," said Brig Saif Al Mazrouei, director of Dubai traffic police.
The driver then sped to Emirates Road in the direction of Sharjah before a tyre burst and forced him to stop. The man, along with two others in the car, were then arrested.
“Driving a vehicle without a plate number in a way that endangers people's lives and causes damage to property while failing to comply with police orders, is punishable with no less than a month and no more than three years in prison,” said Brig Al Mazrouei.
It was not clear when the incident took place or when the case will be heard next. But the penalty also includes a fine of up to Dh300,000 and suspension of a driver’s license for two years.

What is dialysis?
Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.
It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.
There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.
In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.
In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.
It isn’t an option for everyone but if eligible, can be done at home by the patient or caregiver. This, as opposed to home haemodialysis, is covered by insurance in the UAE.
