An Asian housemaid was molested by an airport cleaner just after she arrived to work in Saudi Arabia, the largest base for Asian domestic workers in the Middle East, a newspaper in the Gulf kingdom said on Saturday.

The unidentified maid went to buy a pre-paid mobile phone SIM card from a shop at the airport in the western port of Yanbu when the Bangladeshi worker started to molest her, Okaz Arabic language daily said.

“The maid screamed, prompting the airport security to arrest the worker… he was then handed over to the police,” it said.
