A dentist who assaulted two paramedics who were tending to his girlfriend after she fainted at a club in Dubai was sentenced to a suspended jail sentence and fined Dh1,000.
On October 28, the South African man, 49, was at a club in Dubai Marina with his girlfriend when she went to the bathroom.
“Minutes after she went, a man came over and told me that she fainted. I rushed to the ladies’ room and started first aid until paramedics arrived,” said the accused.
The man said paramedics stretchered his girlfriend to an ambulance and refused to let him join them in the car.
"Then I found myself taken to the police station but I didn't know why because I didn't assault them nor did I insult them as they claim. I have been living and working here for six years without committing any wrongdoing, " he said.
The Filipino paramedics told prosecutors that the accused followed them as they moved the patient and tried to perform CPR on her.
"She was awake and doing well. I told him to stop, but he was drunk and angry," said the paramedic, 42.
He said the defendant hit him in the face then insulted him before he turned to his colleague and did the same.
“He kept saying he was a doctor and when we asked him to present an identification card, he refused,” said the second paramedic, who called police.
When he appeared at Dubai Court of Misdemeanours, the defendant denied charges of assaulting and insulting public employees and consuming alcohol without a liquor licence.
He was sentenced to a suspended one month in jail and fined Dh1,000.

Alwyn Stephen says much of his success is a result of taking an educated chance on business decisions.
His advice to anyone starting out in business is to have no fear as life is about taking on challenges.
“If you have the ambition and dream of something, follow that dream, be positive, determined and set goals.
"Nothing and no-one can stop you from succeeding with the right work application, and a little bit of luck along the way.”
Mr Stephen sells his luxury fragrances at selected perfumeries around the UAE, including the House of Niche Boutique in Al Seef.
He relaxes by spending time with his family at home, and enjoying his wife’s India cooking.
