WORLD, April 03 (YPA) – The Lebanese security forces have announced the arrest of a suspect in the attempted rape of a British journalist in Beirut.

According to the victim’s friends, she was severely traumatized and had to be taken to the hospital.
Journalist Aya Iskandarani wrote a series on Twitter, in which she said: “Sharing a heavy msg from a friend in Beirut. Sad we’ve come to this, but avoid the area if you’re a woman! Yesterday evening a friend of mine, while out jogging, was violently attacked and raped by a still unknown man near KidsMondo on the road to the Beirut waterfront.”
“She is lucky to be alive due to the violence inflicted on her. Both she and I are concerned this will happen again in the area where there is no CCTV and also the police basically don’t give a shit,” she added.
