Shocking footage emerges as subjects accuse Prince Abdalaziz of meting out brutal assaults on civilians
A SAUDI prince has been arrested on the orders of the country's King Salman after footage emerged appearing to show him beating people — including defenceless women.
Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz bin Musaed bin Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud — known as Prince Abdulaziz — seemingly launched attacks on his innocent subjects with pals.
Bloodied victims could be seen looking to the camera before a figure appears to hold up a rifle as a terrified man is led with his hands over his head.
Another citizen runs in fear as one of the prince's entourage seems to thump him in the back of his head.
Other shocking clips show Abdulaziz allegedly waving a gun towards the camera while jeering friends laugh.
Hijab-clad women can also be seen fleeing in terror as a voice screams at them.
A man's voice says: "You park by my house, I'll screw your mother in her grave" in another appalling video.
A Saudi court order issued last night said the suspects including Prince Abdalaziz would be held until testimonies are gathered from victims.
The statement added that the law must apply equally everyone regardless of their position in restrictive Saudi society, reported.
Since the arrest more Saudi civilians have come forward to claim they have been attacked by the royal.
Members of the vast Saudi royal family have been heavily punished by authorities for stepping out of line before.
Last October Prince Turki bin Saud bin Turki bin Saud Al-Kabeer was executed for murder.
State media reported the prince was beheaded after admitting shooting dead Adel bin Suleiman bin Abdulkareem Al-Muhaimeed during a street brawl in 2012.
