Dubai construction site guard ‘stabbed in the buttocks by gang’
Dubai Criminal Court
Dubai - Arab Today
A security guard was stabbed in the buttocks after he was tied up by four men who were trying to steal electrical cable from a building site.
The Pakistani defendants, aged between 34 and 44, were seen by the guard as they sneaked into the site in Jebel Ali in August this year.
"I spotted three men sneaking under the metal fence at 1am," said the Pakistani guard, 28. "One of them was holding a knife and another was holding a rope. They grabbed me and tied my hands."
One of the men watched over the guard while the others looked for cable.
"I started to scream and shout to alert anyone near by," said the guard. "The man guarding me tried to stab me in the abdomen, but I jumped away at the right time and he hit me in the buttocks."
He said the defendants stole his mobile phone before fleeing, having found no cable.
At Dubai Criminal Court the men confessed to charges of theft of a mobile phone, attempted theft of electrical cables and assaulting the guard. The next hearing will be on December 29.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
