Riyadh: Police have arrested a Saudi national for giving a pistol to his seven-year-old son and allowing him to drive his car in a rural area in Riyadh.
It follows an investigation into a video circulated on messaging application WhatsApp, in which the child is seen carrying the gun while driving his father’s car.
The man, in his fifties, is also accused of teaching his son foul words with the intention of stigmatising other people, reported local Arabic daily Sabq.
Police seized the pistol and referred the case to Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution.
