AN innocent Brit granddad trapped in a Dubai prison is lucky to be alive after a crazed inmate strangled\u00a0him with a telephone cord.<\/p>\n
Albert Douglas, 61, was trying to get through to his family from Al Barsha prison when the lunatic struck from behind.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Call operators thought he was having a stroke and immediately called his son Wolfgang Douglas in the UK. <\/p>\n
Holding back tears, the 36-year-old said his dad's attacker "tried their best to strangle him to death".<\/p>\n
He added: "They called me straight away and said they think he's having a stroke because he's gargling.<\/p>\n
"He wasn't, he was being strangled to death. He is just a frail old man. He is totally and utterly finished now."<\/p>\n
