Stirling electrician arrested for indecency put his hand out to stop drink spilling and touched man on hip, say friendsA British tourist is facing a three-year jail sentence in Dubai after putting his hand out in a bar to stop himself spilling his drink and touching a man’s hip, according to his representatives. Campaign group Detained in Dubai said Jamie Harron, from Stirling, central Scotland, was arrested for public indecency. He then “touched a man on his hip to avoid impact”. The organisation claims it was only after Harron and his friend sat at a table that the man who had been touched seemed upset. Police arrived at the Rock Bottom bar 20 to 30 minutes later and arrested Harron, according to his representatives.
