Dubai Police have arrested a group of young men following an altercation that escalated into a knife-related brawl, while another individual was taken into custody for filming the incident and circulating the footage. Authorities confirmed that all legal measures have been taken against those involved, with the suspects referred to the competent authorities for further action. Dubai Police reiterated their firm commitment to public safety and warned residents against sharing videos of crimes or violations on social media. Police reminded the public that posting footage of crimes or violations can itself carry legal consequences under UAE law. Officials stressed that incidents involving unlawful behaviour must be reported directly through official channels instead of being recorded and distributed online. Residents were urged to report suspicious or dangerous activity through the Dubai Police smart app using the Police Eye service or by calling 999. ICA/Expat Media
