Ankara, Aug 13 (IANS): A Turkish man blocked a highway in Istanbul with a seven-car convoy in order to propose to his girlfriend -- but ended up getting arrested, a media report said on Thursday.
The man, with help from six of his friends, formed a convoy and closed the D-100 highway in Istanbul’s Bahcelievler district on August 8, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
People who were stuck on the blocked highway used their mobile phones to record the event and shared the videos online.
Traffic supervision teams used the footage on social media to identify the group and took seven people into custody.
Police temporarily took away the driving licences of all seven suspects until a report confirmed they were mentally stable.
The Hurriyet report did not mention how the girlfriend responded to the proposal -- Yes or No.
