Shocking video shows terrified women mobbed by jeering men as they walk along Saudi Arabian street

YouTube footage has captured the moment two terrified women are hounded by a horde of jeering men as they walk along a promenade in Saudi Arabia.In the minute-long video, the 2 young women - dressed in traditional burkhas and face veils - become visibly distressed as they are harassed and intimidated by jeering men.

The clip recently went viral in the country & sparked public outrage, prompting a police investigation which reportedly led to six boys being detained & questioned. But shockingly, the women are now being blamed for 'provoking' the reaction from the crowd by being 'indecent'.

The outlandish claim is being supported by the emergence of a new video supposedly taken from the scene, which has been shown on semi-official news channels.

The second video purports to show the same women riding a quad-bike to the promenade, with one of them tossing their agal towards the men in a 'seductive and tempting' manner.An agal is the black rope worn by Saudi men over their traditional checkered head cloths.

Thanks to the emergence of this new video, the women were no longer seen as victims by viewers in Saudi Arabia and were accused of provoking the men.
