Kuwaiti police arrested an Omani man on Eid holiday in the oil-rich Gulf emirate after he abducted a girl and tried to rape her at his rented flat.

The 18-year-old girl was walking with her sister near their house when the Omani stopped his car and forced the girl in before driving away.

Her sister told police she followed the captor in her car and knew where he lived, according to the Arabic language daily Alwatan.

It said police raided the apartment and arrested the Omani just as he was trying to rape the girl, a Bedouin (without identity).
