Digital Desk: An alleged South Korean YouTuber was subjected to harassment by a man while doing an online live stream in Mumbai. On social media, the video of the incident from Tuesday night is going viral.

The YouTuber was harassed by the accused man by trying to kiss her and grabbing her hand while she was live, as seen in the footage that was released on Twitter.

The woman, Mhyochi, uploaded the footage on Twitter along with the following statement: "Last night on stream, a guy assaulted me. He was with his friend, so I did my best to avoid escalating the matter and walking out. And some people said that it was initiated by me being too friendly and engaging the conversation. Makes me think again about streaming." (sic)

The accused is seen in the one-minute video giving the female YouTuber a lift by taking her hand while she nervously resists. The accused tries to kiss the woman's face when she refuses to sit down and wraps a hand around her neck.

The woman starts to move away while adamantly rejecting the action and says "Time to go home" on the live video. The accused, together with a second individual riding a scooter, pursues her and offers the lift once more. Later in the film, he is heard asking, "Come, this seat."

The woman then runs away, telling him she'll go alone and that her house is close by.
