Police in Aizubange, Fukushima Prefecture, said Monday they have arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of assaulting a 16-year-old female acquaintance by punching her in the face while in his car.
Police said the incident occurred between about 2:05 and 2:15 a.m. on Sunday in the parking lot outside a convenience store, broadcaster NTV reported. Police said the suspect, who is from Kita-Ibaraki City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is accused of punching the girl in the face with his bare hands multiple times, causing facial bruises and other injuries.
After the assault, the woman asked for help from a convenience store employee who reported the incident.
Police said the man, who had been visiting his parents’ home for the weekend, has admitted to the allegation.

Nice breakup! Don't punch any girl/woman whatever.

‘The woman’…..my daughter is 16 and there is no way she could be described as a ‘woman’ and she’s nowhere near as immature as some of her friends. As for the parents, what’s a 16yo child doing out at 2am without the parents?!

Totally!
16 year old girl. And I still have a hard time calling a 19 year old male a man. Still kids! Legally an adult in reality still a stupid young kid.

Fatherless homes are the cradle of all problems in society.
Not every neglected person gets in trouble/commits crimes.
But from my experience dealing with criminals (mostly overstayers and petty criminals), 90% or more come from broken homes with too much freedom.
A 16 year old out at 2am. A life of problems ahead.

Your writer seems to have trouble describing a 16 year old as a girl, a teenager or a woman.

Whatever the age of either of them, 16-yes-old is not a 'woman' yet and this 19-year-old geek has some serious maturity issues.
And as for whatever time of night it is, there is one thing clear. He beat her. Physically, hard. He's an abuser, a total jerk. This 'relationship' is OVER. She should not 'have' to take this crap from the fool. Lock him away!

I know 16yr old child is girl, not woman. I was just trying to say, "Don't punch any female persons", because female is weaker than male.
