Ajman: A four-year-old Arab boy was reunited with his family after police found him sitting alone by a roadside on Thursday.
Major Khalfan Abdullah Hameed, director of the investigation branch at Al Nuaimyah police station, said officers found the boy near a mosque in Al Nuaimyah at 6.45am on Thursday while they were out on a routine patrol.
