The Egyptian police arrested seven people accused of harassing a twenty-year-old girl while she was walking in the street in Mansoura in the Nile Delta, according to a statement by the Ministry of Interior yesterday, after a shocking video was circulated on the social networking sites of the incident.
Since last Wednesday, social media users have been circulating short videos of a young girl screaming as a group of youth tries to harass her in the street, while two people try to save her by putting her in a car to get away from the crowd.
The Ministry of the Interior said in its statement, "It was possible to determine the identity of the victim and show that she is a student (20 years) residing in the city of Mansoura (..) while she was walking on Al-Gomhoria Street. ».
"The search efforts have led to the identification of some of the seven defendants (...) against them, who have admitted to committing the incident," she added.
