Hopefully whoever this is will show herself in public soon so we can judge how bad her "offense" was.
A British holidaymaker has been charged with indecency in Dubai after walking through the world's largest shopping centre in a bikini.
The woman was buying clothes and gifts in the Dubai Mall, fully dressed but in a low-cut top, when she was accosted by an Arabic woman and criticised for wearing 'revealing clothing'.
The pair then became embroiled in a heated row in front of hundreds of bemused shoppers.
Incensed by the Arabic woman's comments, the British woman told her to 'mind her own business' before stripping out of her clothes and 'taunting' the locals by walking around in only her bikini, it is alleged.
The mall's security team then intervened and called the police, who arrested the British holidaymaker.
The woman, whose identity is unknown, was still being questioned by officers in Bur Dubai police station last night.
A source within Dubai police said: 'The British woman was wearing a very low top and most of her legs were on display.
'The Arabic woman stopped to criticise her and that's when she stripped off. That's when things started to get out of hand.
'We ended up questioning both women after receiving a call from the mall security staff.'
There are numerous signs around the Dubai Mall urging women to 'wear respectful clothing-Similar messages are flashed up on LCD screens in most shopping malls across the United Arab Emirates.
Dubai, which attracts more than one million British tourists a year, tends to operate a more lenient policy than other Arab states.
