The couple told the court that the policeman threw snow at their daughter.

The Omani  policeman defended himself saying he didn't use offensive language or was disrespectful to the couple.

“I was skating with my friend. A security guard approached me and said a woman wanted to speak to me. When I went to the woman  she asked me why I had thrown snow at her girl's face. I told her that I didn't do anything to her daughter. Surprisingly, she cursed me and called me a liar. When I asked her to show some respect while talking to me, she offended me again. Then her husband came and cursed me as well. He pushed me and grabbed me by my neck before he threatened me,” claimed the policeman.

The Saudi couple were summoned to the police office at Dubai Mall after the Omani policeman decided to take legal action against them.

During questioning, the couple denied the Omani's claims and alleged that they only had a heated argument.

“I spoke to him nervously and pushed him from our way, then took my wife and we walked out of the rink arena because he disrespected us,” claimed the father.
