He shot the gynaecologist because he believes he had no right to assist his wife’s delivery and that a woman gynecologist should have done that.
Dr Muhannad Al Zabn, who has a Jordanian father and a Saudi mother, delivered the baby one month ago at the King Fahad Medical City in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
The doctor was later rushed to the intensive care unit while the shooter was arrested by the police.
Bassam Al Buraikan, the spokesperson for the hospital confirmed the incident, saying that a doctor was shot and that his condition was now stable.
