Arresting breakfast

SAUDI authorities have arrested an Egyptian hotel worker who appeared in what officials described as an “offensive” video eating breakfast with a female co-worker.

The footage, which sparked outrage on social media in the ultra-conservative kingdom, showed the pair sharing a meal at a desk.

The woman, draped headto-toe in Islamic niqab, is seen waving to the camera and feeding the man – who was filming – with her hand.

Local media identified the man as an Egyptian national.
