Dubai: Police have arrested several people on the orders of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, after Kuwait team members were attacked during the UAE Jet Ski Championship here yesterday.
Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Foreign Minister, issued an apology to the Kuwaitis and assured that the attackers will be brought to justice.
Several Emiratis were arrested and police are on the lookout for others, Deputy Dubai Police Chief Major General Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina said.
"What happened was the result of an earlier dispute between a member of the Kuwaiti team and an Emirati jet skier in an earlier race," Maj Gen Al Mazeina said.
"Dubai Police will not show leniency to the attackers and will refer them to prosecution for legal action," he said.
