An Asian bus driver was arrested over sexual harassment of a school girl, according to Al Ittihad newspaper.
The eight-year-old girl dozed off in the bus as she was heading to her school in the emirate of Ajman and failed to join her classmates.
When she woke up, she found herself alone in the bus and saw the driver trying to molest her.
She claimed that the man prevented her from leaving and left her locked inside the bus in front of his house.
An Asian man, who was passing by, smashed the window pane and rescued the girl before alerting the police.
The suspect denied the charges, claiming that he had left the bus without realising that the student was still there.
Investigations revealed that the bus had no supervisor or surveillance cameras. An inquiry is underway.
