Dubai police arrested several people after a deadly knife fight this week. There have been similar incidents in the Emirati city’s massive foreign worker community.
Ten people were arrested on charges of assault with a “cold weapon,” Dubai police said in a press release today, using a term referring to non-firearms such as knives and swords. The large brawl resulted in three deaths and numerous injuries. It was reportedly caused by a dispute over around 5,000 Emirati dirhams, roughly $1,350. The police identified the arrested individuals only as “Asians.”
