Texas police arrested a 14-year-old student Ahmed Mohamed, who made a digital clock and brought it to school to show it to his teachers.

A teacher at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, alerted the police after hearing a beep from Ahmed Mohamed's clock. Four police officers arrived at the school, interrogated him for hours and then took him to the juvenile detention centre, where they handcuffed him.

An official spokesman defended police action saying Ahmed Mohamed was not able to give "broader explanation" for what the clock was for.
In the video below Ahmed Mohamed, who loves engineering, says he made the clock in 20 minutes using a circuit board and a digital display.

When he got that to school, his engineering teacher advised him not to show it any other teacher.

He was proved right as in another class, the teacher, who heard the beep, called the cops.  
Ahmed Mohamed's plight was  reported and the hashtag #IStandWithAhmed began trending in the UK and U.S. on Wednesday morning.
