Saudi police have
arrested a man after he shot a male doctor shortly after he helped deliver his
wife’s baby.
It is understood the suspect was angry that the hospital had
allowed a male doctor, named locally as Muhannad al-Zabn, to treat his wife
during birth.
The man, who has not been named, is believed to have wanted
a female doctor to deliver the baby
and was upset that the male doctor would have seen his wife
naked.
The baby was born in April at the King Fahad Medical City in
the Saudi city of Riyadh, according to Gulf News.
After the birth, the man reportedly travelled to the
hospital and contacted Dr al-Zabn for a quick chat.
The man said he wanted to thank Dr al-Zabn for delivering
his wife's baby without any major complications. After meeting in the hospital's garden, the
man reportedly pulled out a handgun and shot Dr al-Zabn.
Following the attack, the father ran from the scene but was
later tracked down and arrested by Saudi police.
Dr al-Zabn was taken to the hospital’s intensive care unit
and is now understood to be in a stable condition, according to Newsweek.
