A video that went viral on social media showed a group of young men in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia wore scary masks, like that of a monkey face to frighten passers-by.

The footage showed mischievous men running after people and frightening them.

In the clip, the men wearing masks appeared to stop the car near people and scare them. And terrified people can be seen scrambling to their feet to get away.

Many activists circulated the video on social media and demanded the arrest of naughty men.

Soon the Saudi police responded and arrested them on charges of intimidating passers-by, and violating public rules and regulations by using monkey masks.

Many social media users expressed concern over the incident while some passed funny remarks.
