The foreign worker is believed to be of an Indian nationality.

After stabbing the Indian worker in the chest repeatedly, the Saudi man leaves the scene.

According to Al Arabiya news network, Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) spokesman confirmed the report, saying that SRCA had received a call about the assault and dispatched medical team to the site.

Due to the serious injuries the foreign victim had passed away before the arrival of the medical team, SRCA spokesman added.

Foreign workers are facing beatings, torture, rape, abuse and death in Saudi Arabia.

Human rights groups have rapped Saudi Arabia over the condition of migrant workers in the kingdom and called on Riyadh to respect the rights of the migrant workers.
