Two Saudi teen age boys apparently influenced by horror movies bought a human-size toy, stuffed it inside their car boot and dangled its hand out before going for a drive on the roads with the aim of causing panic for fun.

The plan did work as many children accompanying their families began to scream when their cars stopped at a traffic light just behind and next to that car on a key road in the Western Red Sea port of Jeddah.

A Saudi man tried to calm down his little son who kept crying and pointing at the girl’s hand dangling out of that car’s boot.

Next to them, a woman and her little daughter were screaming as the traffic began to build up and passers-by were gathering.

The Saudi man then phoned the police who rushed to the scene and chased the two teen agers. After arresting them, they found that the hand was that of a toy.

“The two were arrested. What they have done is an irresponsible behavior and reckless action,” a police spokesman told the Al Madina newspaper.
