Police in Changsha, capital of Hunan Province, are investigating a foreigner for raping a Chinese woman on the roadside on Thursday morning, local media reported.
The suspect, a foreign student at a local college, is questioned for the alleged rape, but police didn't say whether the man was held in custody or not.
The sexual attack took place on the sidewalk of Jiefang Road, in front of a KFC store. Several passers-by caught the foreign student in the act and alerted the police.
The student, in his 20s and about 1.6 meters tall, wore slippers, while the woman is in her early 30s.
Witnesses said the man was on top of the woman lying on the ground and raped her after pulling their pants off.
A witness, surnamed Yang, said they thought the two were lovers as they were "hugging and pushing" each other, but it soon turned violent.
"Several others joined me to stop him," Yang said. "When we went up, the man stood up and grabbed his pants to cover his lower body. We were very angry and a young girl scolded him in English," he added.
Some witnesses then started beating the foreigner. He uttered words in English as he tried to dodge the blows, Yang said.
Changsha police gave no information about the woman and the nationality of her attacker, nor did they say if the foreigner was drunk at the time.
A 24-year-old British tourist sexually assaulted a Chinese woman in Beijing last May and was arrested by police. A video footage of his assault went viral on the Internet.
