Abu Dhabi police arrested an Emirati teen ager for getting drunk and chasing his mother with a knife inside their house, pushing her to jump down from the first floor, resulting in fractures all over her body.
The boy, identified as MA, had asked his mother to give him her car and demanded money but she refused on the grounds he was under the influence of alcohol, the Arabic language daily Alittihad said.
Infuriated by her refusal, he pulled a knife and attacked her but she ran into her room and locked the door, it said.
The boy managed to break the door but his mother ran to the balcony and jumped down from the first level.
“She suffered from fractures all over her body and was taken to hospital,” the paper said, quoting police and prosecution sources.
It said blood tests confirmed the boy was under the influence of alcohol, adding that he was referred to a family delinquency court for trial.
“The boy confessed to have had alcoholic drinks, threatening his mother and breaking her room’s door but he denied charges that he tried to kill her,” the paper said without specify his age.
