To avoid paying a massage fee of AED1,000, a Dubai-based expat fleed from the massage parlour in the Tecom area – resulting in a group of 8 men attacking him to steal his money and smartphone.

A 24-year-old Moroccan young adult took his complaint to the Dubai Court of First Instance and conveyed in a statement that he was recommended the massage parlour via a friend and went in for the massage in January this year at 5 am. After being informed by his masseuse of the AED1k cost, he put on his clothes and refused the service and the charges.

While attempting to leave the parlour, a group of 8 men attacked the complainant and assaulted him outside the building. Managing to escape through the punches and kicks, the young Moroccan ran away and pretended to play dead – after which the gang left him alone.
