Egyptian security forces have successfully uncovered and addressed several cases that were circulating on social media platforms. These cases involved various criminal activities, including assault with a white weapon, unauthorized operation of a car calling service, and dissemination of indecent video content. The incidents took place in the governorates of Cairo and Al-Buhairah. Authorities have taken swift action, resulting in the arrest of three suspects.
The first incident involved an attack on an electrician in Al-Buhairah governorate. A video and images posted online showed an individual being assaulted with a white weapon. Upon investigation, it was revealed that the incident occurred on September 20, 2026, when an electrician was attacked by a fellow resident, resulting in multiple cuts and injuries. The victim identified the assailant, who was subsequently arrested and confessed to the crime. The suspect also revealed that he had disposed of the weapon used in the attack by throwing it into a waterway.
In a separate incident in Cairo, authorities investigated a video that had gone viral, showing a person operating an unauthorized car calling service and demanding money from a citizen. The video was filmed in a street in the city of Nasr. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that no official complaints had been filed regarding the incident. However, security forces were able to identify and apprehend the individual featured in the video, who was found to be unemployed and residing in Kafr El Sheikh governorate. The suspect admitted to committing the offense.
Furthermore, the General Administration for Protection of Public Morals, a specialized police unit, monitored a content creator who was posting indecent videos on her social media pages. The videos featured her dancing in revealing clothing, contravening societal values.
