Riyadh, January 28: Saudi police arrested a local man after claiming he is a prophet and decided to send him to a psychiatry hospital for examination.
The man used a packed hall hosting a local festival in the northeastern town of Hafr Al Batin to address people and tell them he was their new prophet.
“Police received many phone calls about the man…they went to the place and arrested him….he would be sent to a psychiatry hospital for examination,” the Saudi Kabar Arabic language daily said.
