A horrifying video captured an Indian man attacking a woman with an ax after he complained to police about his unwanted advances.
The surveillance video shows the assailant arriving on a scooter in front of the woman’s house in the Meerpet region of Hyderabad on Monday, just after another woman gave him a child, Daiji World reported.
The attacker, identified as Rahul Goud, 26, is seen running after the victim as he flees inside the house with the child. Another camera captures the chaos that occurs inside while hacking it before fleeing.
The next day they caught him.
The woman was hospitalized with injuries to her palm, forearm and shoulder. He is expected to survive.
Goud, described as a family friend, had been harassing the woman for some time and tried to force her to maintain a relationship even after learning she was married, according to the report.
He had recently lodged a complaint with police and he was arrested, but after being released on bail, the enraged man launched the attack with the ax, police said.
Deputy Police Commissioner Purshottam Reddy said Goud has been charged with attempted murder.
