Photos: 14 y.o boy arrested in Saudi Arabia for dancing the 'Macarena'

A teenager who stopped traffic as he danced the Macarena in the middle of the street has been arrested by Saudi police for 'violating public morals'.

The 14-year-old boy has been hauled in by officers and taken for questioning, despite the incident happening more than a year ago. 

In the 45-second clip, the teenager can be seen disrupting drivers while dancing to the popular 1990s hit in the area of Jeddah.   

Today Saudi police released a statement to say the 14-year-old boy had been detained. 

Mecca officers said the teenager, who was not named, was being questioned because he had shown 'improper public behaviour' and disrupted traffic. 

It was not clear whether he would be formally charged.
