Man arrested after 28 years for a charge that no longer exists

HAIKOU - Police finally arrested a fugitive, 28 years after he was accused of "hooliganism", only to find that he had married his victim after the incident.

After searching for the man for nearly three decades and driving 1,100 kilometers in a heavy typhoon, police officers from South China's Hainan province eventually arrested the man on Oct 3.

The fugitive, Chen Zonghao, was wanted on a charge of hooliganism for hugging a woman against her will in the 1980s.
