Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown was arrested in Dubai and is being extradited to Miami to be tried for attempted murder following a shooting on May 17.

U.S. Marshals arrested Brown, 37, in Dubai and flew him to Essex County, New Jersey, where he awaits extradition to Miami to stand trial, ESPN reported.

Brown had been in Dubai for several months prior to his arrest and was overseas when a warrant for his arrest was issued in June, according to WPLG in Miami.

After learning of the warrant, Brown retained an attorney who obtained a $10,000 bond that would place him under house arrest, but he did not return to southern Florida.
