DUBAI: An Asian man has been arrested for filming a video that has gone viral on the Internet showing a UAE citizen beating up an Indian delivery van driver in Dubai, local media reported yesterday.

The Asian, whose nationality was not known, was arrested for defaming the UAE man who beat up the Indian driver, the reports said.

“No one has the right to take pictures of someone and publish them without his permission,” Dubai police chief, Khamis Al-Mazeina, was quoted as saying by the daily Emiratalyoum.

He said the Asian video maker was arrested following a complaint by the family of the Emirati man.
