In a shocking incident, a woman in Dammam jumped from a moving taxi to avoid the unpleasant advances of the driver.

The woman later reported the case to police, who arrested the taxi driver.

Dammam police spokesman Col. Ziad Al-Ruqaiti said: “A woman informed the police station north of Dammam that in order to avoid the verbal harassment of the taxi driver, she jumped out of his taxi.”

He added that the police formed a team to nab the driver. The taxi driver, in his 30s, was later handed to officials of the Investigation and Prosecution Department for further action, he said.
