A man who offered to give an Ethiopian woman a lift in Kuwait took her to a deserted area and raped her before handing her his mobile phone number, a newspaper said on Sunday.

The unnamed Ethiopian told police she was waiting a cab in Kuwait City when an unknown man stopped his car and politely told her to get in, the Arabic language daily Alanba said.

“She said the man took her to a deserted area and raped her…when he finished, he gave her his mobile phone number,” the paper said.

“Police tried many times to call the man but his mobile phone is always turned off…they are now searching for him after the woman gave them his description.”
