A BRITISH woman was briefly detained after stripping down to a bikini and walking in her beach wear through a five-star mall in Dubai, a police official in the United Arab Emirates said yesterday.
According to the official, the woman was shopping in the mall on Wednesday, when an Emirati woman came up to her and criticized her for wearing a low-cut top.
The two started arguing, then the Briton stripped down to her bikini and walked away like that through the mall.
The mall, one of the world's largest, has signs asking shoppers to dress modestly, but Westerners in short skirts and revealing blouses routinely ignore the advisories.
The mall security subsequently detained both women and took them to a police station for questioning.
They were released later, after the Emirati woman lodged a complaint for public indecency against the Briton.
