Man attacking call girls held

A Chinese man has been arrested on charges of attacking seven prostitutes in the name of maintaining public security and justice.

The attacker surnamed Li allegedly injured the women seriously in his native city Weifang in Shandong province and in the southern cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen since 2008, Shanghai Daily reported Thursday.

Li was caught Tuesday, three days after he hammered a prostitute in Shenzhen and robbed 1,200 yuan ($190) from her.

"Many husbands and teenage boys are tired of work and families after they were absorbed by unlicensed massage parlours that offer sex services," Li said. "That's why I hate prostitutes and began to punish them."
