Video: 2 men harass girl on Saudi road

Two men were caught on camera harassing a veiled Saudi girl as she walked on the road in the town centre, triggering a police manhunt for the two.

A YouTube film published by Sada newspaper showed the two came close to the girl and started shouting at her before she turned back as passers-by looked on with surprise.

The paper said the incident took place in the Western town of Taif and quoted police as saying they had mounted a manhunt to arrest the two men after the film went viral on social media networks in the conservative Muslim Gulf Kingdom.

The incident came a few days after another film on social media showed many men harassing two girls in a public park in the Western Red Sea port of Jeddah. Police said they had arrested most of the harassers while there were calls for punishing the two girls for making seductive moves.
