A 41‑year‑old Asian man was sentenced by the Ajman Federal Court of First Instance to six months in prison and fined Dh5,000 after assaulting a woman and causing injuries that temporarily prevented her from carrying out normal activities.
The verdict, issued on 28 September 2026, followed a police report filed on 30 January 2026. A medical examination documented injuries that caused temporary incapacity for less than 20 days. The Public Prosecution charged the defendant with intentionally assaulting the woman and causing injuries or incapacity that prevented her from carrying out her personal activities for that period.
During the trial, the defendant initially admitted the assault during police questioning but later denied the charge. The court reviewed the victim’s statements, witness testimony, police and prosecution records and the medical report, finding the defendant guilty based on the consistency of the victim’s account and the medical evidence.
The court also ordered the defendant to pay court fees and referred the woman’s compensation claim to the competent Civil Court under Article 26 of the Criminal Procedure Law. The civil claim will be assessed separately to determine any compensation for physical, material or moral damages.
