A 35-year-old Asian man attempted to steal a vehicle in International City, Dubai, only to find a woman sitting inside.

The accused was reportedly running away from assailants when he saw the vehicle parked outside a veterinary clinic but did not notice the woman sitting inside.

The alarmed woman quickly called her husband - who had stepped into the clinic - for help. The latter rushed over, but when he attempted to force the accused out of the car, a scuffle broke out, injuring the vehicle's owner.
