A Saudi teenage girl jumped out of a taxi while it was moving on a busy road in the Gulf kingdom after its Asian driver tried to molest her.

The girl emerged unhurt after opening the door and jumping out of the car on a road in the Eastern Saudi port of Dammam, ‘Sabq’ daily said, quoting police spokesman in the Eastern province Colonel Ziad Al Rugaiti.

“We are searching for the driver who did this to the girl…we know that he is Asian in his 30s,” he said.



Man killed on way to daughter’s wedding


A Saudi man was killed in a road accident while he was heading for his daughter’s wedding but she was told about his death on the next day.

The bride’s brother was at the wedding in the Western Saudi town of Medina when he was told by the hospital over the phone that his father had died.

“He told his mother who asked relatives to stop the music…the mother asked her daughter’s husband to take his bride for the honeymoon without telling her about her father’s death,” ‘Sada’ newspaper said.

“The mother did not want to spoil her daughter’s wedding day and decided to tell her on the next day…it was a wise decision by the mother.”
