Man saves boy from kidnappers

A Saudi man saved a 15-year-old local boy from three kidnappers who tried to force him into the car in an apparent bid to take him away and rape him, a newspaper in the Gulf Kingdom reported on Thursday.

The man was walking back home in the western town of Taif when he heard the boy screaming near a deserted street at night, Altaif said.

“The man went to see what is happening and came face to face with three men trying to force the boy into their car,” the paper said.

“He attacked them and after a brief fist fight, they fled…police later managed to arrest the three on descriptions provided by the man and the boy.”
