A British woman was arrested after stripping down to a bikini to walk through a luxury shopping mall in Dubai.

Police said she was shopping there yesterday when a conservatively dressed Emirati woman criticised her low-cut top.

She responded by stripping down to her bikini and walking through the mall.

Security staff detained both women and took them to a police station for questioning. They were released later.

The Briton's name was not released.
