Police said the attacker also stole a car and changed its number plates. Officers circulated a description of the car and a manhunt was launched.



A short while later, a security patrol spotted a car matching the description and tried to stop it, but the driver got out and fled.



The security personnel chased and arrested him. The assault victim identified the driver as his attacker.



A white belt dropped by the driver when he ran away contained a gun, bullets, and some cash and was kept as evidence by the investigating

team.



Jeddah police spokesman Misfer Al-Juaid confirmed the arrest. He warned parents to be more diligent when looking after their children.
