Cops hold 1 for molesting woman at prayer

Saudi police arrested an Arab man after he tried to molest a woman while she was praying at a mosque, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Passers-by who saw the man harassing the woman called the police but he fled into a building near the mosque in the northwestern town of Sakaka.

“After a brief search, police found the man and arrested him on charges of molesting a woman inside a mosque,” Okaz Arabic language daily said.
