A British man is on trial in Dubai for allegedly kicking his neigbour’s dog while under the influence of alcohol.
The Dubai resident appeared in court on Wednesday. He admitted consuming alcohol, but pleaded not guilty to charges of trespassing on the neighbour’s property and assulting the animal. The trial resumes on Monday.

It’s the latest in a string of court cases involing Britons in Dubai, home to a significant British resident population and a population holiday spot.
A British couple was sentenced to a month in jail last year for passionately kissing in public. In 2008, two Britons faced trial for allegedly having sex on the beach.
