A  Saudi groom went out of his way and assaulted a guest in front of scores of people invited for his wedding in the Gulf kingdom.

A short YouTube film posted on social networks showed the groom, wearing the traditional Arabian marriage gown, suddenly leapt on a man next to him and started to punch him, prompting guests to rush to stop the fight.

Sada newspaper, which also carried the report, did not mention what caused the scuffle or where in Saudi Arabia the incident took place.
