Hala posted a video on Instagram in which she said: “I am currently on Dabaa axis, and I was riding, and I found the driver stopping the car and getting out of it and telling me that it had overheated. He came and looked behind me and I found him unbuckling my pants belt and I got out of the car quickly, and he told me, ‘Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I have diabetes and I have to go to the bathroom every now and then.’”

Al-Saeed continued: “I got out of the car and left my bag, and thank God I was talking on the phone before the car stopped, and I called one of my friends and told him that I sent him a live location, and this is what made the driver afraid, thank God.”
