Dubai: A 34-year-old Sri Lankan cook is facing two counts of theft and causing permanent injury after he bit his fiancee’s ear while snatching her purse.
The 36-year-old Sri Lankan complainant said that she met the accused three months before the incident took place and got engaged.
But due to many disputes they broke up.
She told the court that the accused had been stalking and harassing her ever since they split up.
“He would assault me on the street, take my purse, steal my stuff and money then return my bag,” she said.
She said that she was walking to work in Al Satwa when the cook, came from behind, grabbed her by the arms and tried to snatch her purse.
He punched her and when she tried to get away from him, he bit her ear so hard that a part of it got cut.
He ran away with her purse that had her mobile phone, bank cards, ID and some money in it.
The Criminal Evidence General Department’s forensic report said that a part of the woman’s ear was lost in the attack.
She has been suffering of bleeding in that ear time and again.
