Security forces arrested a suspect on Thursday that allegedly attacked a group of tourists at the Three Pyramids Hotel on Haram Street, said a security source.

The suspect is being interrogated by National Security Agency officers to see if he has any links to terrorist organizations, the source added.

Director of the General Giza Investigation Department Major General Khaled al-Balshy said two assailants on a motorcycle fired bird shots on a group of tourists exiting the Pyramids Hotel before fleeing the scene.
Security forces established checkpoints on Haram Street to track the attackers following incident, the source added.
