Ethiopian maid bites lady cop in arrest drama

An Ethiopian domestic servant snapped the hand of a woman police officer out of her fear for handcuffs, it was revealed. The 35-year-old maid was detained at the Public Prosecution premises after being accused of illegal stay in Bahrain and her victim was assigned to accompany her.

The Ethiopian woman is said to have caused a chaotic scene when police officers, including the victim, attempted to handcuff her. “When I saw the handcuffs, I got desperate and I snapped the police officer’s hand. I regret my acts and am sorry for what happened,” the Ethiopian woman said.

There was an Indonesian woman with the Ethiopian maid at the same detention. And it was alleged that she also had attacked police officers.

However, she refuted such claims during questioning. Both women were earlier charged by the Public Prosecution with attacking on-duty police officers. They will appear before the High Criminal Court.
