A man has been jailed for three months after he sexually assaulted a Filipino woman in a lift. The 33-year-old Egyptian was found guilty at Dubai Court of First Instance on Thursday. He will be deported after serving his sentence. The woman entered her building in the Muraqabbat area of Dubai when the man followed her into the elevator. “He looked at me and then suddenly touched my chest and tried to kiss me. I pushed him away and he tried to kiss me again,” the victim said. “I yelled and cried and when the elevator stopped on the fourth floor I managed to escape and went to my flat. “My sister opened the door for me. I was still crying and could hardly speak. When I calmed down, we called the watchman and then the police.” Police later arrested the Egyptian man, who the victim identified as her attacker at a police line-up.
