Minister Marwan Charbel, Hero.

Damsel in distress, anyone to the rescue?

Panic-stricken after her bag had been snatched […] Layleh Youssef Ghanem cried out for someone to help retrieve her belongings, […] The convoy of Interior Minister Marwan Charbel had been in the area at the time of the incident and intervened to apprehend the [mugger]

I don’t know the circumstances, so I won’t accuse the minister of pulling a Putin. But if the ministry of interior had more police in the streets, we wouldn’t have needed the intervention of the convoy of the Minister himself..
