A migrant Bangladeshi petrol station worker regained consciousness after a 40-day coma at a Saudi hospital, Emirates24news reported on Thursday, quoting a local newspaper.
The Bangladeshi national was admitted at the hospital with a fractured skull following an assault from robbers, the report says.
“The worker had been in coma since he was attacked at the station 40 days ago before regaining consciousness yesterday (Wednesday),” local newspaper Sabq daily said.
The worker was at the station alone late at night when three unknown men bludgeoned him on the back of his head with a metal object. They went on to make away with the money in the cash register.
Police mounted a manhunt for the robbers after they were caught on camera at the station in the south-western town of Balgarn.
However, the name, age and other details of the worker were not provided in any of the news reports.
