Two males were detained by police in Mumbai, India, for harassing a South Korean woman as she was live-streaming a video.

On social media, Hyojeong Park, also known as Mhyochi, was walking around the city on Tuesday night when the event happened.

In the footage, one of the men is seen embracing Ms. Park, 24, and giving her a cheek kiss.

The guys have been accused of molestation, according to news agency.

Last night on stream, there was a guy who harassed me. I tried my best not to escalate the situation and leave because he was with his friend. And some people said that it was initiated by me being too friendly and engaging the conversation. Makes me think again about streaming. https://t.co/QQvXbOVp9F

She was talking with her followers and bystanders on the street as she walked through Mumbai’s Khar neighborhood on Tuesday when a man approached her.

The man can be seen grasping her arm and attempting to pull her onto his motorcycle in the video posted on Twitch. Additionally, he tries to kiss her cheek.

Time to go home, Ms. Park says as she walks away from him while clearly scared. However, the man then follows her on the bike with a companion and requests her phone number.

Finally, a second man requests them to stop as he crosses the street to assist her.

Ms. Park can be seen rushing to a hotel in the video, where she ends it by declaring her safety.

Later, she uploaded a video of the encounter to her Instagram account, noting that she did her best “not to escalate the issue” in the description.

A few Twitch commenters, according to Ms. Park, accused her of being the harasser because she had been “too polite” and struck up a conversation with the man when he approached her.

Others, though, stood up for her and urged her to call the police about the event.

A Twitter user posted the video on Wednesday, labelling the men’s actions as “disgusting.” In addition to mentioning the Mumbai police, the user stated that the incident should not go “unpunished.”

The user and Ms. Park were then contacted by the police via Twitter, requesting more information about the incident. They later tweeted that the men had been taken into custody.
