A 22-year-old woman lived a real nightmare at the hands of a 27-year-old man who tried to strangle her with the chain of her bag, on Monday night in Peristeri.

According to the Police, the 27-year-old approached the 22-year-old through a social networking platform, but after a short period of communication, the young woman tried to end the relationship between them.

However, on Monday night, the 27-year-old forced the 22-year-old into the taxi he owned and then started driving, while at the same time abusing her and threatening her that he would not let her get out of the vehicle.

The 22-year-old tried to get out of the moving vehicle, but the 27-year-old immobilized her by putting the chain of her bag around her neck.

The girl managed to free herself, as the chain of the bag broke and with the help of neighbors who called the Police, she was taken to the Peristeri Security Department.

Police officers who were assigned to investigate the case, after investigations, identified the 27-year-old yesterday morning and took him to the Peristeri Security Department where a case file was filed against him.

The arrested person was taken to the competent Prosecutor.
