A Scottish tourist is on trial for public indecency and drinking alcohol without a licence after he was arrested at a bar three months ago, according to Lovin Dubai.
Under UAE law, the consumption of alcohol is illegal unless the person has a valid alcohol licence.
The 27-year-old man was in the crowded bar, and reportedly touched another male on the hip, whilst under the influence of alcohol.
According to reports, he touched the man's hip to avoid impact or 'spilling his drink'.
Dubai Police visited the scene and arrested the man on charges of public indecency and drinking alcohol.
He faces three years in prison.
