Saudi pages on social media circulated a video clip documenting the kidnapping of an Asian worker from a gas station.
It was said that the accident took place in Saudi Arabia, while observers said that the license plate of the hijackers’ car was not Saudi, and others noticed that it was a Kuwaiti plate.

Followers of the kidnapping explained the desire of the perpetrators to steal the money that may have been in the possession of the worker, who they said was of Asian nationality.
المفترض قرار حكومي اي محطه بنزين مايتعامل بالكاش. لازم يكون عنده مكينه نقاط بيع . والحساب بالبطاقه فقط. والي بيحاسب كاش ينزل للمكتب الخاص بالمحطه ويحاسب داهل وياخذ وصل وعلى اساسه يعبي بالقيمه

Some called for the necessity of canceling cash transactions at gas stations, in order to avoid such incidents.
The clip shows a black car in front of the gas station, and one of its passengers, who appeared in underwear (shirt and pants), starts filling the car with fuel himself, before another opens the back door of the car and the worker is pushed inside it by force, and the car moves away after being kidnapped.
It was not possible to know the location of the accident or the date of filming of the video, which was documented by a surveillance camera at the scene.
