CHENNAI: Angry over not accepting his love proposal, a 22-year-old youth attacked a college girl with a knife in Nadambakkam on Friday. However, the police managed to arrest the stalker in a couple of hours by chasing him for 3 km.

On Friday evening, Ashmitha was returning home from college and when she was walking in the Seven well street in St Thomas Mount Naveen intercepted Ashmitha to talk with her. Ashmitha avoided Naveen and started to walk fast to the house. Soon Naveen became angry and he took a knife and slashed her throat and ran away from the spot.
