A Korean youtuber who was live streaming in Mumbai, India was harassed by two men in a video that has gone viral.

Hyojeong Park, known as Mhyochi, was walking towards her hotel in Khar late at night when a man put his arm around the 24-year-old's neck and kissed her on the cheek.

One of the men shouted "I love you", which she ignored.

The men asked her for her phone number and one of them appeared to grab Mhyochi's hand and pulled her towards a motorcycle. She resisted. "Where are we going?" she asked. "No, no, no," she then said.

Last night on stream, there was a guy who harassed me. I tried my best not to escalate the situation and leave because he was with his friend. And some people said that it was initiated by me being too friendly and engaging the conversation. Makes me think again about streaming. https:/t.co/QQvXbOVp9F

Two men, identified by local media as Mobeen Chand Mohammad Shaikh and Mohammad Naqeeb Sadrealam Ansari, have been charged with harassment by Mumbai police.

"The accused followed me to the hotel and when they asked me for my mobile number, I gave them a fake one to get out of the situation," Mhyochi told India Today."

"I was quite shocked. I did my best not to escalate the situation and tried to leave. But he grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me to his motorcycle."

According to the young girl, she was saved by someone who was watching the video live and luckily for her, he was nearby with a friend. She later posted a picture with her two rescuers, Aditya and Atharva, with whom she had lunch.

Mhyochi said it was her first trip to India and she had been warned that it was not a safe place for solo female travellers.

"But I really don't believe that. This could happen anywhere in the world I don't want people to think or blame that this happened because it's India. I met a lot of amazing people during my trip. This is just an unfortunate incident."

She said of the incident: "When people say no, you should take that as a no, but apparently he didn't take it at all."

The police were alerted about the incident when the video went viral on Twitter, reports Hindustan Times.

Mhyochi later explained why she did not immediately report the incident: "I didn't have the composure to go to the police station after the incident because it was midnight. I felt awful."
