Two Saudi police officers were wounded in a drive-by shooting in the capital Riyadh on Sunday, a police spokesman said.
"A security patrol was carrying out its duties in Riyadh when it came under fire from an unknown vehicle" in an attack that "left two policemen wounded," the spokesman said in a statement published on the official SPA news agency.
The two were hospitalised and "their health situation in stable," the statement said.
Authorities are investigating the incident, it added.
OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia is leading an Arab coalition targeting Iran-backed Shiite rebels and their allies in neighbouring Yemen.
The Sunni-dominated kingdom is also part of a US-led coalition against the Islamic State jihadist group, which has seized swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq.
Saudi security forces occasionally come under attack from opponents in the country's Shiite-populated Eastern Province.
But attacks on the police are rare in the capital.
