Four students were arrested in Cairo on Saturday for emulating a viral dance craze called the “Harlem shake.”
The pharmaceutical students had removed most of their clothes and videotaped themselves performing the pelvis-thrusting dance, a police official said.
Neighborhood residents started to assault the students, who are accused of committing “a scandalous act,” the official added.
Egypt has strict public indecency laws, AFP reports.
