Man tried to rape Filipina in lift in Dubai

An Emirati man took advantage of being alone with an attractive Filipina inside a lift at his building in Dubai to force her into his apartment and try to rape her before she was rescued by residents.

Dubai’s prosecutor Yousuf Fouladh described the man as savage after seeing security cameras inside the lift at the building in Nahda area.

Foulad said the man, a civil servant, was alone with the Philippine company secretary inside the lift when tried to molest her.

When she rebuffed him, he grabbed her hair, pushed her down to the floor, stopped the lift at his apartment level and dragged her out, he said.

“He forced her into his flat and tried to rape her, prompting her to scream incessantly….residents who heard her screams rushed to the apartment and began banging the door, forcing him to open,” Fouladh said.

“She then fled the flat and went straight to the police…those who saw the film recorded by the security camera were shocked as the victim was subject to one of the ugliest and most savage rape attempts,” he said the Dubai-based Arabic language daily Emirat Alyoum.
