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.
I guess they behead the assailant and then stone the woman to death, huh?
Oh c’mon. Its a total runaway game and we scored one field goal.
I’ll give a rats a*s when these people condemn what’s happening in Germany and Scandinavia.
And that ain’t gonna happen.
Gee. ANY muslim male attacking many thousands of Christian women “overseas” is reason for praise.
An unknown man in an unknown country attacking a single Saudi woman is reason for condemnation?

Sorry, don’t give a damn. If it wasn’t for Israel, the entire Middle East can fall into a sinkhole for all I care.
How about them being outraged over muslims killing Christians, or muslims going to Europe and raping and molesting women.
Just said the same and then read your comment.
And also, what a jerk. Like a Saudi women already doesn’t have a hard enough row to hoe.
The culture of expatriate men pushing Saudi women down. The nerve! Only Saudi men should push Saudi women down.
If only they had as much outrage when a muzz attacks a normal person.
Maybe W can fly over and hold hands with them.
Strange story. They say the perp is an expat but don’t say where. Social media says it happened in Riyadh but the cops aren’t saying. He doesn’t look like a Westerner. Possibly a pampered prince who’s bored and off his meds.
The ones practicing Sharia are a cult and I think it will become our war and the second crusade.
How dare he insult a muslim women that’s left to the barbaric islamic men who would stone her or chop her head off
100%
F@#2!@!! Saudi Aholes, they can nuke the place for all I care.
You are sick.
