Saudi religious cop stabbed by girl

A Saudi girl arrested after she was caught with a man in a public place stabbed a member of the Kingdom’s most feared religious police group during investigation at a police station, newspapers reported on Sunday.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the most influential Islamic law-enforcement group in Saudi Arabia, seized the unnamed girl with a man in a public place in the southwestern town of Abha and charged her with having an illegitimate meeting.

“They took her to the police centre, where they decided to refer her to the public prosecution…she jumped to the police officers’ desk, picked a knife and tried to stab the policewomen who wanted to transport her,” Alwatan daily said.

“When a member of the Commission tried to stop her, she stabbed him in the hand…but she was later overcome and transferred to the prosecution.”
