Saudi police chasing an Egyptian university professor for the alleged kidnapping of a little boy discovered to their surprise that the victim was just a cock.

Police shadowed the professor and three friends in their car until they reached his apartment in the southern Jazan province after they were told by another boy that he saw the professor abducting a child and dumping him in his car boot.

“They raided my apartment and asked me about the abducted boy…but I told them that I only have cock which I have just slaughtered to cook,” the unnamed professor said, quoted by the Saudi Arabic language daily 'Sabq'.

“They told me that they came after me after they were told by a boy that he had seen him kidnapping a boy and dumping him in the car boot…I told them that I did dump something in the boot but it was only a cock which I bought from the market.”
