He asked her to stop, but when she refused, he forced her to go with him. They went to a nearby nursery, where the applicant asked her why she wasn't talking to him. When she didn't respond, he threatened to kill her brother and stabbed her in the stomach with a knife. After she started bleeding, the applicant ran away.
