A 22-year-old man in Chiang Mai, Thailand, was arrested on Thursday (14 Aug) for allegedly assaulting and stealing money from his ex-girlfriend after she rejected his sexual advances.
Police received a distress call the previous afternoon about a violent attack at a dormitory in the Si Phum subdistrict.
At the scene, officers found 19-year-old Yen Oo with injuries to her head and face, as well as a knife wound on her left arm.
The suspect, identified as her ex-boyfriend, Sai Nor, had fled the scene with 4,000 baht (S$158) in cash.

Following a manhunt, police tracked Sai Nor to a dormitory in the San Pa Tong district.
They seized his black-and-red motorcycle, a purple wallet containing 2,500 baht (approximately S$100), and the clothes he wore during the offence.
During questioning, Sai Nor admitted to the crime.

He explained that although they had broken up and both had moved on to new relationships, he missed his ex-girlfriend and decided to visit her.
He asked her for sex, but when she refused, citing her new boyfriend, he lost his temper.
In a fit of rage, he assaulted her, threatened her with a knife, and stole her cash before fleeing on his motorcycle.
Sai Nor now faces charges of armed robbery, causing bodily or mental harm, and carrying a knife in public without a legitimate reason.
