(Central News Agency, Reporter Zhang Rongxiang, Tainan 23rd) A high school girl in Tainan was suddenly attacked from behind by a man yesterday while walking on the sidewalk to the bus stop after school. He attempted to drag her into a nearby empty lot. Fortunately, a passerby deterred him with a wooden stick, and the man fled immediately. However, the female student had already photographed his back, and the police are fully investigating the case.
The Tainan City Police Department remained tight-lipped about the attack on the female high school student, declining to reveal details of the case. They only stated that the police are doing their utmost to pursue the suspect and believe they will soon lock onto the man involved.
The school told the Central News Agency reporter today that the attacked female student was walking on the sidewalk to the bus stop at 5:50 PM yesterday after school. At that time, traffic was heavy. Just as the female student was looking down at a message on her phone, a man wearing a mask and gloves, reeking of betel nut, approached from behind. He suddenly reached out and covered her mouth and pulled her schoolbag, attempting to drag her into an empty lot by the road.
The female student immediately struggled with the man and called for help. A motorcyclist noticed, stopped, grabbed a wooden stick from the roadside, and stepped forward to shout at him. Seeing this, the man fled immediately. The female student quickly used her phone to take a picture of the man's back and reported the incident to the police accompanied by the motorcyclist.
The school stated that the female student sustained multiple bruises after the attack and is currently resting at home. The school has completed the campus safety notification and simultaneously strengthened patrols and propaganda inside and outside the campus to protect student safety. (Editor: Chen Qingfang) 1150423
