The 50-year-old UAE national, identified as A., stabbed his 28-year-old Egyptian third wife, identified as M., causing wounds all over the body.
The suspect, who is from Fujairah, tried to kill her because he suspected she was having an affair with another man.
He dumped the bleeding woman on the road behind the main office building of Sharjah Police's Al Anjad Patrol in the Al Butaina area. The woman is in a critical condition.
