A surveillance video showing an expatriate man shoving a Saudi woman inside a supermarket has stirred a hornet’s nest.
Shared on social media, the video has gone viral and viewers are demanding harsh punishment against the offender.
As seen in the video, the woman was walking by an uncrowded aisle when the man, apparently unprovoked, blocked her path and pushed her down the floor.
The next frame showed security men accosting the man and subduing him.
A number of social network users said in comments that the incident took place in Riyadh, but Riyadh Police Department spokesman Fawaz Al-Mayman, said they have yet to see any report about such incident.
Several twitter activists have called on security authorities to give the culprit the punishment he deserves to teach him and others like him a lesson.
Activists have also launched a hashtag on twitter, expatriate_hits_Saudiwoman, showing their displeasure against foreign men taking liberties at local women.
'It is an attempt to abuse our country,' said one Saudi woman on Twitter, adding that while there have been many cases of such abusive acts by expatriate men against women, not all are caught on camera.
'This is really a horrible behavior against a woman. The expatriate seems to have lost his mind … I cannot believe that there are some women who face this kind of behavior in the Kingdom,' another citizen said tweeted.
The attacker looks like a Muzzi to me.
Muslims - Fighting a war on women for centuries.
It’s racist for Saudis to be angry about this!
WEll at least it was good to see those Saudi guys roughing him up. I guess they have some respect for law and order.
That’s a weird one.
Expat? From where, Kuwait? UAE? Paki or Nigeria?
He sure ain’t from South Dakota.
This coming from a raghead ...
they need to take a couple million M.E. and African Muslims to experience some real fun.
That’s right Arab Muslims don’t need any help abusing their women. They’ve got it well in hand.
Where is Hillary and Halfbright standing up for this women’s rights?????? Ooops in Saudi Arabia, a woman has no rights, silly me.
True, but I am betting this guy has a screw loose. Being a foreigner and attacking a woman like that was a great risk.
Most of the expats in Saudi are Pakistanis, Egyptians, Lebanese, Sudanis, Jordanians, etc., i.e. Muslims. And that’s especially the case in the Central (Riyadh) and Western (Jeddah) provinces. The western expats are mostly in the Eastern Province around Dammam, Dhahran, and the oil fields. The man in this video looks Pakistani, as did the security guys who grabbed him. Native Saudis are ownership and top management, middle management tends to be Egyptian and Lebanese or Palestinian/Jordanian, and the grunge work is done by Pakis and Sudanis. One fellow I knew who was general manager of a big oil field equipment sales operation in the eastern province was Pakistani. But he was also upper crust former Pakistan career military officer class, complete with Errol Flynn mustache and secret Scotch and Gin liquor cabinet in his home.
I am well thank you. You are a Muslim sympathizer? Nice to know.
Watch it pal. You are advocating killing every member of a certain religion. You are mentally unbalanced. That can get you locked up or at least held for psych evaluation. I have screen capped your post and reported you. I would stop the threats right there while you’re behind.
Of course the Saudis are furious about a foreigner attacking a Saudi Woman. Only Saudi men are allowed to do that.
