[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jung-wan] A man in his 20s who stalked his ex-girlfriend, cut her hair with scissors, and assaulted her face was arrested by the police.

The Hwaseong Western Police Station in Gyeonggi announced on the 12th that they arrested a man in his 20s, identified as A, on charges of violating the Stalking Punishment Act, confinement, and special injury, and applied for an arrest warrant.

A is accused of cutting the hair of his ex-girlfriend, B, a woman in her 20s, with scissors and repeatedly assaulting her face and other parts at around 1:35 a.m. the previous day in a multipurpose basement space of an apartment in Hyangnam-eup, Hwaseong City.

A reportedly restricted B from leaving by insisting on having a conversation and entered the apartment’s multipurpose space together, then committed the crime after preventing B from leaving.

B’s friend, who was with her at the scene, reported the incident to the police. The responding officers broke the glass window of the locked multipurpose space and arrested A on the spot.

During the process, A threatened the police officers with a weapon and resisted arrest, resulting in additional charges of obstructing official duties. It was confirmed that he had planned the crime in advance by preparing scissors and was not intoxicated at the time.

Police investigations revealed that A had been stalking B for several months after their breakup before committing the crime. The police provided B with safety measures as a crime victim along with a smartwatch.
