A jobless woman has been jailed for three months for biting off a part of a friend’s lower lip in a fight.
Dubai Criminal Court heard how the 29-year-old defendant, from Ghana, lashed out at a 38-year-old cleaner on April 14 this year.
The victim was taken to Rashid Hospital for treatment and later reported the incident to police.
“We had an argument then she suddenly attacked me,” the cleaner told the court. "She started biting me then bit off part of my lip.”
No reason for why the argument started was given in court documents. The defendant was told she could appeal against the sentence within 15 days.
