Part of Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai was closed to traffic temporarily on Monday evening to allow a police helicopter to rescue a person injured in a road accident.
Online video shows the aircraft landing on a deserted stretch of the usually busy road in the Jumeirah Lakes Towers area. The patient is put on a stretcher and carried to the helicopter. It lifts off shortly afterwards to carry its injured passenger to hospital.
A Dubai resident who recorded the rescue said the operation began at about 7.20pm, when the road was sealed off for a matter of minutes.
"The road was closed for 10 to 15 minutes, not much, and then the road was reopened for cars and motorbikes," said Kanika Lamba, 24, a digital marketing manager.

What is hepatitis?
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, which can lead to fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis or liver cancer.
There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E.
Hepatitis C is mostly transmitted through exposure to infective blood. This can occur through blood transfusions, contaminated injections during medical procedures, and through injecting drugs. Sexual transmission is also possible, but is much less common.
People infected with hepatitis C experience few or no symptoms, meaning they can live with the virus for years without being diagnosed. This delay in treatment can increase the risk of significant liver damage.
There are an estimated 170 million carriers of Hepatitis C around the world.
The virus causes approximately 399,000 fatalities each year worldwide, according to WHO.
