conceived practical joke almost went horribly wrong when a young Saudi was accosted by masked-friends who threw a plastic bag over his head, bundled him into the boot of a car and then threw him out in a mountainous area late at night on Wednesday. The group only realized the prank had turned sour when their friend lost consciousness, whereupon they took him to hospital in Mahayil Asir. According to the hospital the young man was later discharged.
