A Saudi driver was arrested for sexually harassing a disabled girl.

The viral video depicted a taxi driver from an app-based ride-hailing service harassing a girl with a communication disability. The driver was a mentally ill man who attempted to sexually assault a crippled girl.

Soon after the video went viral, Attorney General Sheikh Al-Mojeb issued an arrest warrant for the driver, as well as an order for the police to track down the driver and conduct an inquiry into the video’s origins.

On Monday, police in Madina carried out the Attorney General’s directives and detained a 30-year-old driver of an app-based ride-hailing service.
