S Korean YouTuber Hyojeong Park

S Korean YouTuber Hyojeong Park, who was harassed in Mumbai while live streaming, says she will stay on the city.

"This happened to me in another country too, but at that time I couldn't do anything to call the police. In India, action is being taken very quickly. I've been in Mumbai for over three weeks and plan to stay longer.

"I don't want this one bad incident to ruin my whole travel and my passion to show how wonderful India is to other countries."

The Mumbai Police on Thursday arrested two men for allegedly molesting and stalking a South Korean woman YouTuber on a street in the city, an official said.

A video surfaced on Wednesday showing the woman being sexually harassed by a young man in the Khar area of Mumbai.

A Twitter handle which had shared the video claimed the woman was from South Korea and was livestreaming in suburban Khar when the incident took place around 8 pm on Tuesday.

The video showed a young man coming very close to her and trying to pull her by holding her hand even when she protested.

As the woman began to walk away from the spot, the man again appeared on a motorbike with a friend, offering her a lift while she told him in broken English that she did not want it.

The police took notice of the incident on their own after receiving the video on their Twitter handle, an official from Khar police station said. They registered an FIR and started a probe into the incident and the accused are now in police custody.
