A Saudi man in his 60s tried to rape a 10-year-old boy but the child escaped and led the police to the would-be rapist, a newspaper reported on Monday.

The boy was selling fireworks on the road in the western town of Hawiya when the man approached him and offered to buy all his stuff, Al Saudeh said.

“He asked the boy to follow him so he will pay. He led the boy to an isolated area behind the road and tried to rape him,” it said.

“But the boy managed to escape and reach a police patrol which happened to be in that area. Police arrested the man who tried to flee.”
