DUBAI // A man was sentenced this morning to three months in prison for an assault that left the victim eight per cent disabled.
The man, identified as AS, a 39-year-old Emirati, told the Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance that he was framed for the August 13, 2010, attack. His sentence will be suspended for three years.
"I didn’t do it, your honour, I am innocent and I was detained for a week for something i did not do,” he said.
AS told Judge Hamad Abdullatif that the victim signed a waiver saying he was not involved in the attack.
Prosecutors accused AS of being one of six men who attacked, MS. The men beat him and broke his nose, prosecutors said.
Police said AS was identified from a photo lineup.
Records show he was arrested on January 19.

Three tips from La Perle's performers
1 The kind of water athletes drink is important. Gwilym Hooson, a 28-year-old British performer who is currently recovering from knee surgery, found that out when the company was still in Studio City, training for 12 hours a day. “The physio team was like: ‘Why is everyone getting cramps?’ And then they realised we had to add salt and sugar to the water,” he says.
2 A little chocolate is a good thing. “It’s emergency energy,” says Craig Paul Smith, La Perle’s head coach and former Cirque du Soleil performer, gesturing to an almost-empty open box of mini chocolate bars on his desk backstage.
3 Take chances, says Young, who has worked all over the world, including most recently at Dragone’s show in China. “Every time we go out of our comfort zone, we learn a lot about ourselves,” she says.
