Man rapes 11-year-old boy at knife point

A Saudi man used a knife to kidnap and rape an 11-year-old boy but he was caught by police six hours after the crime, a local daily said on Tuesday.

The unidentified boy told police he does not know the man who snatched him near his house west of the capital Riyadh and took him to a deserted place, where he raped him, the Arabic language online Ajel Daily reported.

“He threatened him with a knife then raped him…the boy gave the man’s descriptions to police, who caught the suspect six hours later,” it said.

The paper said the boy recognized the suspect in a queue and police were interrogating him ahead of his trial.
