A Palestinian national who tried to hypnotize a woman working at a travel agency in a southern Lebanon city Thursday was later arrested by police after he tried to escape, a security source told The Daily Star.
Police received a call from Al-Atab Travel Agency in Sidon, where they were informed that the man, Elias Aa., had tried to put an employee to sleep by saying words she did not understand. After starting to feel faint, however, the woman began to scream, prompting the man to run away, the source revealed.
The motive behind the suspect's act remains unclear.
The police later apprehended Elias in the city’s Nejmeh Square, where he was then handed over to authorities at Sidon’s police station.
