Authorities have booked him for the display of 'improper public behaviour', an official statement read.

The 45-second clip shows the teen dancing in the middle of the street, disrupting traffic.

His arrest has divided social media, while some hailed him for the bold move, others condemned the act.

Reports also suggested that the clip was first posted in July, last year.

Saudi Arabia, which practices Wahhabism, has placed several strict rules in public places, the breaking of which can lead someone to jail.

Just a week ago, the nation faced severe criticism from the international community after one of its airlines, Saudia, released a new circular about its dress code.

According to the new dress code, women passengers are forbidden to show skin and for the males, no shorts.

Women have also been strictly told to not wear anything too short or tight, failure of which may lead to 'refusal of transporting passengers'.

The new guideline by Saudia might not be limited to just that particular airline and may become a pan national thing.

In the month of July, a woman was arrested for wearing immodest clothes in public.

According to a video circulated online, the young woman was seen taking a tour of a historic fort at Ushayqir Heritage Village, wearing a miniskirt and a crop-top in public.
