4 arrested in Egypt for 'Harlem Shake'
Four pharmaceutical students invoke wrath of Egyptian authorities for lude Harlem Shake version; officials: 'Scandalous act'
Egyptian police said Saturday they have arrested four students who filmed themselves publicly dancing in their underwear, as more people around the world emulate a viral dance craze called the "Harlem Shake."
The four pharmaceutical students shocked residents of a middle class Cairo neighbourhood when they removed most of their clothes and videotaped themselves performing the pelvis-thrusting dance, a police official said.
The hostile audience tried to assault the students, who are accused of committing "a scandalous act," the official added.
Egypt has strict public indecency laws.
