A Saudi family sought the help of the Mental Health Hospital in Taif to subdue their mentally-ill daughter after she became hysterical and turned violent.
A hospital unit rushed to the family’s home in a local district. They managed to overpower the 24-year-old woman after grappling with her for nearly one hour and took her to the hospital.
Arab News tried to contact the young woman’s parents but they refused to comment.
It is not the first time the woman has turned violent.
There was a previous incident where a Red Crescent team had to rush to the house after receiving a distress call from the woman’s parents. But Red Crescent paramedics failed to overpower her and at last a first-aid unit from Shahar General Hospital for Mental Health came in and managed to take her to hospital.
