Riyadh, June 08: Residents of a small town in Saudi Arabia stopped in surprise to watch a knife-wielding Filipina girl chasing a car in the middle of the street.
At first, they thought it was part of a film-making but they could see no camera. Only then, they realized the chase was real.
The unnamed girl, looking furious, kept chasing the car until it was out of sight and it turned out later that she was after a man who tried to rape her.
The unknown Saudi had stormed into her room adjoining a sewing workshop where she works and tried to use violence to rape her.
“She managed to free herself from his grip and rushed to the kitchen for a knife…sensing danger, the man fled,” Okaz Arabic language daily said in a report from the southern Saudi town of Khamis Mushait.
“He went to his car and she ran after him with the knife…she could not get him but passers-by told police they managed to get the car number.”
