A late-night brawl over alleged immoral activities escalated into a deadly knife attack in Jebel Ali Industrial Area 1, leaving one man dead and another critically injured. Three Asian men are now facing serious charges in Dubai courts, following their swift arrest by authorities.
Dubai Police said the violent incident unfolded when two of the accused, while driving around the city, approached two men in Jebel Ali allegedly in search of homosexual services. A confrontation ensued, turning into a chase that ended near a Pakistani restaurant in a nearby sandy lot.
One of the intended victims managed to call a friend for help, who rushed to meet them. But the situation quickly turned bloody when knives were drawn. One man was fatally stabbed multiple times, while another sustained life-threatening wounds to the chest and abdomen.
A restaurant owner who spotted the aftermath alerted police, reporting two individuals lying motionless and bleeding on the ground.
Forensics, CID, and emergency teams responded immediately, confirming one fatality at the scene and rushing the injured man to a hospital. The deceased was taken to the forensic department for a detailed examination.
In a rapid operation, police tracked down and arrested the three suspects within 24 hours. During interrogation, they admitted their involvement in the crime. The case has since been referred to the Dubai Public Prosecution, where charges of murder and assault have been filed.
