A video circulating on social media showed police escorting the young prince -- one of the thousands of members of the royal family -- out of a house in handcuffs. The arrest came after the prince, whose face can clearly be seen in some of the videos shared via Twitter Wednesday, unleashed a wave of verbal and physical abuse on Saudis and foreigners. The videos have sparked anger on social media, with users identifying as Saudi citizens calling for the prince to be put on trial. The victims in the videos will be called to testify in court, according to a royal decree carried by Al-Ikhbariya. Saudi Arabia has one of the world's highest rates of execution and widely imposes harsh sentences for criminal offences.
