CHENNAI: In a horrific incident, a college student attacked a woman for avoiding him in Chennai.

Prasanth (19) studying in a private college in Teynampet was in a relationship with a 21-year-old since schooldays. However, their relationship got on tenterhooks when the woman's parents became aware of it.

On being castigated by her parents, the woman kept avoiding Prashanth for two months. Irked over this, he confronted her at the bus stop when she was on her way home from college last evening and asked why is she refusing to talk to him.
