A New Zealand man has been locked up by Dubai police after he called them to control a former girlfriend armed with a knife.
The jilted woman allegedly took revenge by wrecking the New Zealand man's apartment and threatening him with a knife when she caught him having sex with his new girlfriend, the Gulf News website reported.
The Brazilian former girlfriend caught the unidentified New Zealander in bed with his new British girlfriend on the same day he broke up with her.
The Brazilian, 24, went to the man's home early in the morning and wrecked the house with a kitchen knife, the police said.
She then allegedly attempted to attack the New Zealander and his new girlfriend with the knife.
The man called police, who arrested everyone and locked them up in Bur Dubai police station - with the two women in the same cell.
