The Madinah Region Police confirmed that they swiftly responded to a viral video showing a woman slapping a security officer at the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, Saudi Arabia.
The widely circulated footage captures the woman attempting to use an unauthorized walkway in the mosque’s courtyards. When a security officer advised her to take an alternative route, she refused and struck him in the face. In response, the officer retaliated by slapping her twice.
