The policeman was from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. The incident took place in the Saudi Arabia's eastern city of Hofuf Mubarraz.
He asked the man and the woman, who was in mid-twenties, to confirm their identities and relationship to one another, Daily Mail reported Wednesday.
Jerusalem Post said that the man collapsed on being questioned.
Even before the policeman could react, the woman began hitting him. She punched him repeatedly on the head and upper torso.
The policeman had to be taken to hospital as he suffered from severe bruising.
Unmarried men and women are not allowed to mix under Saudi Arabia's strict Islamic rules.
"People are fed up with these religious police, and now they have to pay the price for the humiliation they put people through for years and years," Media Line news agency quoted Saudi human rights activist Wajiha Al Huwaidar as saying.
