Horrifying video captured an Indian man attacking a woman with an ax after she complained to the police about her unwanted advances.
The surveillance video shows the attacker arriving on a scooter in front of the woman’s home in the Meerpet region of Hyderabad on Monday, shortly after another woman hands him a child, Daiji World reported.
The attacker, identified as Rahul Goud, 26, is seen running after the victim as she runs away into the house with the child. Another camera captures the ensuing chaos as he attacks it before fleeing.
He was caught the next day.
The woman was hospitalized with injuries to her palm, forearm and shoulder. She must survive.
Goud, described as a family friend, had been chasing the woman for some time and tried to force her into a relationship even though she knew she was married, according to the report.
She had recently filed a complaint with the police and he was arrested – but after being released on bail, the enraged man launched the ax attack, police said.
Assistant police commissioner Purshottam Reddy said Goud was accused of attempted murder.
