A salesman was booked for allegedly stalking and kidnapping his ex-girlfriend and threatening to kill her if she did not marry him.
The Sudanese, 34, was accused of kidnapping the woman, an Algerian, from outside her workplace.
He was charged in the Court of First Instance with kidnap, deprivation of freedom and making criminal threats.
The incident was reported to Jebel Ali police on Dec.15, last year.
The complainant, a 30-year-old security guard at a hotel, said she had been friends with the accused until he proposed to her.
"He did not want to stay as just friends and kept insisting to marry me. I asked him to stop stalking and harassing me with his calls."
She said that around 10pm as she stepped off the metro train and was walking to the hotel where she worked, the defendant approached her.
"When I refused to have a talk with him he took a paper cutter from his pocket. He threatened me and forced me inside his car," she claimed.
He drove for a short distance and threatened her again with the sharp tool.
Later as he was parking the car, his phone and cutter dropped from his hands.
As he stepped out of the car to look for his phone, she threw the sharp tool from the window.
"I tried to calm him down as he kept screaming that he wanted to talk to me and get married. I told him to drop me back at my workplace and promised not to end the relationship with him."
She reported the incident to the police as soon as he dropped her back.
A police lieutenant quoted the defendant as claiming that he had consensual sex with the complainant.
"He confessed that after she complained against him he posted compromising photos of her on Facebook. She promised him to drop her accusations if he took her photos down. But he was surprised by a police patrol in front of her house," the lieutenant said.
Many intimate conversations, photos and videos were taken from the defendant's phone and used as evidence.
The hearing has been adjourned to August 30.
