A man has been arrested in Dubai for throwing a glass bottle from a balcony and causing a severe head injury to another person.

Dubai Police received an emergency call from a GCC national who was hit by an empty bottle thrown from a building in the JBR area.

Despite the lack of evidence, investigators were able to identify the offender by utilising the latest artificial intelligence technologies available at the Dubai Police Criminal Data Analysis Centre.

The Asian man has been referred to the Public Prosecution for further legal action.

Brigadier Jamal Salem Al Jallaf, Director of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has urged the public to report suspicious activities and negative phenomena via the ‘Police Eye’ service, which is available on the website and smart app of Dubai Police.
