Who says romance is dead? A Cambodian man has been arrested after injecting a woman with his own blood in a poorly thought-out scheme to win her affections, police said on Wednesday. The 22-year-old man is being held by police for allegedly causing injury to a 21-year-old woman, said Tan Sophal, a police officer in Battambang province where the attack occurred.
The man allegedly injected a syringe of his blood into the woman's rib cage and waist as she walked home from school, Tan Sophal said. The assailant apparently fell in love with the woman when the two were classmates in 2004. After the woman refused his advances, he came up with the scheme to inject her with his blood, said Tan Sophal.
'He thought that if he could not marry her, at least his blood can stay inside her body,' he noted. That's why he injected her with his blood.' Naturally.
After the woman reported the assault to police, she was sent to a hospital for an examination to determine among other things whether the blood was tainted, Tan Sophal said. The man is being held at a police detention center and is expected to be formally charged in the coming days.
