Emirati gentleman turns crime buster

Dubai: Emirati Mahmoud Al Mousa is a mild-mannered man but he turns tough and becomes a crime buster when the situation warrants.

The 38-year-old parking attendant has chased a man who had snatched a bag from a woman. He returned the handbag which contained Dh75,000.

When he told his mother, his wife and children about his super-hero alter ego, they feared that he could have got hurt. He did it again a couple of years later and chased another thief who was running away with a booty of Dh120,000 in a bag.

Al Mousa stepped up his campaign against criminals and bust a drug smuggling gang in a parking lot and has been honoured by the Interior Ministry for his efforts to help fight crime.
