Dubai: Another nightclub was the target of a suspected attack at the weekend. The club management confirmed that an incident took place at the Bur Dubai nightclub.

"We don't know how someone let something off in the club. One waitress fell down and was taken to hospital in an ambulance, but she is fine. We don't know the facts, because no-one saw what happened. Some people were coughing and others had itchy eyes," the management said.

Police sources said three Britons have been detained in connection with the incident, but they have denied the accusations.

A police source said the substance was not tear gas and it has been sent to the forensic laboratory for tests.
