A Scottish man has been freed after being sentenced for three months for touching a man at a bar in Dubai.

Jamie Harron, from Stirling, was arrested in July and charged for “public indecency.” The 27-year-old said he was trying to avoid spilling his drink when he touched a man’s hip at the Rock Bottom bar, a popular venue for Dubai’s wealthy and often tipsy tourists. The man reported him to the police.
