Bad Arab (pursuer knocked out)

aggressive relentless unwary

Street-level pursuer in Cairo who chases Marion Ravenwood through narrow alleys, vaults a roughly five-foot wall while in close pursuit, and is ambushed when Marion smashes a heavy earthen pot over his head, rendering him unconscious. He acts as local muscle coordinating with at least one other Bad Arab and a German agent who block Marion's escape route; his role exemplifies immediate physical threats provided to Nazi-aligned operatives during the urban pursuit sequence.
