A 34-year-old local man has been arrested for allegedly assaulting and extorting his former girlfriend, demanding repayment of expenses incurred during their relationship totaling around MOP70,000.
According to police, the couple began dating in 2021 and lived together in the northern district. The incident reportedly occurred on Tuesday (Nov. 11) after the woman sought to end the relationship. The man became emotionally agitated, and the two became involved in a physical altercation.

The victim sustained injuries to her face and knees, which were later classified as minor. The Judiciary Police visited the suspect’s residence yesterday and arrested him. Authorities said the man has admitted to the offenses under investigation. LV
