A 21-year-old man was arrested in Malaysia for slashing his ex-girlfriend on the neck with a knife at the Taylor's University campus in Selangor on Monday (July 14). 

Videos posted to Reddit and Xiaohongshu show a woman lying on the floor and moaning in pain while her friends applied pressure to her neck and called for help. 

Other students were seen restraining the perpetrator, who was still holding on to the knife.

Both are students at the same university, reported Bernama.

Subang Jaya district police chief Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said on Monday that the 20-year-old student was wounded on the left side of her neck, reported the New Straits Times.

The perpetrator was arrested not long after the incident occurred. 

Both parties are Chinese nationals, according to local Chinese-language publication China Press. 

A Taylor’s University student told the South China Morning Post that the suspect and victim are currently on bad terms, and the man had allegedly threatened to hurt his ex-girlfriend’s pet cat if she ended the relationship.

"He sprayed the cat with bug spray. I think it really died. There’s a video of the incident being shared among students," the student claimed. 

The report also stated that the victim was purportedly being detained against her will before the attack.

On Tuesday, Wan Azlan said the suspect was unhappy with the victim, who had claimed he had stopped her from leaving the house, reported The Star. 

The man will be remanded for four days to assist in investigations.

The victim is hospitalized in the intensive care unit and is in stable condition, reported NST.

Investigations are still ongoing.
