An Israeli tourist was arrested and detained in the United Arab Emirates after becoming involved in a conflict with police at the Abu Dhabi airport, the Walla news site reports.
Nahman Gabay, 21, was on an eight-hour stopover at Abu Dhabi airport on his way to India. After exiting the terminal, he was approached by police who asked him to identify himself.
Gabay then began cursing the officers, the report said, explaining his behavior on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder he is suffering from. Police then carried out a search on him, which further exacerbated his behavior.
The incident occurred three days ago and a court today ordered his remand extended by a further week.
The Foreign Ministry tells Walla they are aware of the issue and dealing with it.
