Default Three British nationals held for spraying tear gas in night club

From Khaleej times:

DUBAI — Three British nationals were detained yesterday morning for spraying tear gas in a night club in the emirate. The act led to choking, nausea and dizziness among those present at the night club as well as causing panic among them.

This is the second such incident during the past three weeks in Dubai, police sources said.

According to a police source, following the incident the police detained a number of suspects but released them later.

On the basis of eyewitness accounts, the police questioned a Lebanese national, who later denied his hand in the incident.

Yet, without eye-witness accounts..... Three British nationals were detained yesterday morning for spraying tear gas in a night club in the emirate

Oh, I do love transparency!!!!!!

I hope they get the right people. I remember going to Creation Nighclub in Bristol for the NYE Sun City event around 2003 and I was a victim of a tear gas attack. I know how it feels to breath that stuff in and it really really isn't nice.

That club was subsequently closed down after being evacuated. I remember running outside gasping for air, the police asked what was going on (they happened to be outside at the time) and I said someone let tear gas off and that was that the Police stormed the place!

It's a shame a small minority of mindless twats have to spoil it for everybody, let's hope the clubs start tightening up security now as clubbers need to feel safe, I mean first tear gas what next? especially with the current terror threats warning recently issued.

I agree totally, the key thing to having a top night in a club is feeling safe. You let your self go then.
