After receiving a call from his girlfriend, Xiao Liu hurriedly rushed to the scene. "When they saw me coming, those few men tried to leave, so I went up to them and confronted them. Only then did they leave," Xiao Liu recounted.
Xiao Liu was stabbed seven times in the abdomen, legs, and buttocks. The doctor stated that his condition requires further observation.
"Those three ruffians approached me, one of them grabbed my butt, another hugged me and started groping my chest," Xiao Lin said. She struggled fiercely, but instead of letting go, they became even more aggressive, molesting her all over. The harassment lasted for several minutes as Xiao Lin cried and struggled. Despite the presence of many onlookers, no one stepped forward to help.
At Fuma Road, the three men continued their assault, forcing Xiao Liu into the middle of the road, heedless of the passing vehicles. They surrounded him and beat him again. Someone eventually called the police.
According to multiple nearby residents, incidents of single women being harassed or robbed have occurred here before, especially in the months leading up to the Spring Festival each year. "This is the junction between urban and rural areas; many girls working night shifts return home alone and are easily targeted," said one resident.
The police reminded the public: with the New Year approaching, various types of criminal activities may increase. Female citizens should avoid traveling alone at night.
Seeing the increasing number of onlookers, the three men finally released Xiao Lin and stood around her. Xiao Lin mentioned that the men who harassed her were all about 20 years old and had out-of-province accents.
In conclusion, this incident serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by women returning home alone after night shifts and emphasizes the need for vigilance and community support in preventing such occurrences.
