A ten-year-old British girl was reportedly attacked by two men who tried to rape her near her parent's home in Dubai.
According to reports, the girl had gone to look for mice in a sandy play area close to her home, when one of the sex fiends grabbed her round the waist while the other attempted to remove her clothes.

Her family found her more than two hours later with a security guard from the complex where she lives.
Meanwhile, a Bangladeshi national, Abdul Aziz, has been charged with attempted rape and has appeared in court in Dubai.
Aziz is said to have admitted that he stopped the girl, then tried to undress her for sex, but she escaped after struggling violently.

"It was an extremely serious assault. The prosecution say there was clear intent to rape or carry out a serious sexual assault on the girl," The Sun quoted a Dubai court source, as saying.
"She was very lucky to escape and very brave to have fought back. Her parents were frantic when she disappeared and incredibly relieved when she was found," the source added.
