'Stunt' passenger shocks people on Saudi street

Hundreds of people on a Saudi street were shocked when they saw a passenger dangling his body out of a speeding car before his feet touched the ground and began trotting with the vehicle that was travelling at nearly 100 kph.

A brief U-Tube film carried by Sabq newspaper showed the Saudi man, wearing a traditional Arabian dishdaha, kept jumping in and out of the four-wheel Jeep driven by his friend in a dangerous night show in the southern town of Khamis Mushait.

“Hundreds of passersby were shocked when they saw him doing this…some of them used their mobile phones to film him,” the paper said.
