Chinese Rapper Stops Live Show To Help Woman Capture Man Who Harassed Her: "Let's go catch him"

A Chinese musician, Apmozart, stopped his live show to help a woman capture a man who harassed her, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported. The incident happened when he was performing at a venue in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, in eastern China, when a female audience member urgently called for help, stating a male stranger had molested her.

Initially, the music was loud, so he couldn't hear properly, so he immediately handed the microphone to her. As per the report, while speaking on the mic, the woman alleged that she had been molested by a male stranger, stating: "The pervert 'discharged' onto my leg."

Despite the quick efforts, the assailant managed to escape. Apmozart noted in the live-stream later that they had contacted law enforcement.

A 25-year-old man, identified by the surname Luo, was arrested the next day, according to Hangzhou police. The man now faces criminal detention, which could last up to 15 days due to the Public Security Administration Punishments Law.
