Emiratis in the United Kingdom are being urged to change their number plates from UAE ones to UK ones, or ship their cars home for their safety following the attack on an Arab last week.

The UAE ambassador to the UK, Sulaiman Al Mazroui, is urging Emiratis to do so, after an Emirati man was attacked in his car in London last week. 

The car was vandalised, and the man viciously attacked in what is thought to be a racial attack in London.

The man was sitting in his parked G-Wagon Mercedes that had UAE licence-plates at the time of the attack.

Emiratis should change their number plates to UK ones, or else ship the cars back to UAE for their own safety, Al Mazroui says.
