Hong Kong police have arrested a 25-year-old man suspected of raping his girlfriend after assaulting her in his flat in the New Territories.
A source said the man allegedly assaulted the woman at his Ting Kau Village residence off Castle Peak Road in the early hours of Monday.
The victim had been out with friends in Tsim Sha Tsui on Sunday night and arrived at the man’s home at around 2am.
“Afterwards, her boyfriend returned home and used a hard object to attack her, causing redness in the left eye and chest pain,” the insider said.
The man allegedly went on to rape her after the assault.
“While the man was asleep, the victim called a friend, who then contacted police,” the source said.
A police spokesman said officers were called to the village shortly before 3.30am to investigate an alleged assault in which a woman was allegedly beaten by her boyfriend.
Arriving officers arrested the man on the spot, with the woman taken to Yan Chai Hospital in Tsuen Wan for examination.
As of Monday afternoon, the suspect remained in police custody on suspicion of assault and rape.
The spokesman said detectives from Tsuen Wan district were following up on the case.
In the first seven months, police handled 41 reports of rape across the city, a 57 per cent increase from 26 cases logged in the same period in 2023.
There were 671 reports of indecent assault between January and July, an increase of 17 cases from 654 in the same period last year.
