[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] A man in his 20s who forcibly put a woman he saw for the first time into his car and injured her while she was on her way to work has been arrested by the police.

On the 2nd, Iksan Police Station in Jeonbuk announced that they had arrested a man in his 20s, identified as A, on charges of confinement and forced molestation causing injury.

A is accused of forcibly putting a woman in her 20s, B, who was on her way to work, into his car in an alley in Sinyong-dong, Iksan City, around 8:40 a.m. on the 25th of last month, and confining her for about 7 minutes. It is reported that there was physical contact during this process.

The two were strangers, and it was confirmed that A committed the crime impulsively after seeing B leaving her house to go to work. B was injured on her knees and other areas while resisting to get out of A’s car.

A passerby heard B’s cries for help and reported it to the police, who immediately caught A nearby as he tried to flee in the vehicle.

According to the police investigation, A, who is a job seeker, reportedly stated that he tried to kiss her because she was pretty.

A police official said, "We considered the suspect’s crime to be serious and arrested him," adding, "He is scheduled to be sent to the prosecution within today."
