Nine-year-old girl outsmarts potential rapist

A nine-year-old girl in Saudi Arabia managed to escape rape by outsmarting a man. The incident happened in Jeddah where the accused, in his 30s, stopped the girl and asked her to come to his flat on the top floor.

The girl, who also lives in the same apartment building, pretended to accept his offer before she ran and locked herself in her apartment, reports Emirates 24/7.

“I rushed home and started to climb the stairs when I saw a man going down.

“I suspected him and stopped him. I then shouted out to my daughter, who opened the door and pointed at the man before she started to cry,” her father told ‘Al Hayat’ daily. “He suddenly assaulted me but I hit back. With the help of other residents, we managed to overpower him and call the police,” he added.
