An Indian man committed suicide in the restroom of an airport lounge in the Red Sea coast city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
The unnamed Indian worker reportedly tried to assault a female passenger while he was about to board an outgoing flight at the departure lounge of King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, the Saudi Gazette reported Saturday citing airport director Abdulhameed Abalaree.
Though police arrested him after the attempted assault, he hanged himself in the restroom where he went on the pretext of relieving himself.
After completing all formalities at the departure lounge, he had suddenly tried to jump on a woman who was waiting to board the same plane he was supposed to board.
Subsequently, the airport authorities disallowed him from boarding the plane as he posed a threat to other passengers.
The man was carrying an exit-only visa.
