The woman who was allegedly attacked by a man in a Beijing hotel said she has made peace with the hotel and wants to end the phenomenal online outrage caused by the incident.

A CCTV footage shows that a woman was attacked by a man in Yitel Hotel in Beijing.

Beijing police announced this morning that they had arrested the 24-year-old suspect who allegedly assaulted a female guest on April 3 at the Yitel Hotel in Beijing's Chaoyang District.

Sun Jian, CEO of Home Inns & Hotels Management Inc (the company that owns Yitel Hotels), also published an open letter this morning and apologized again to the woman, promising to fix the problems that had led to the incident.

"Since the suspect has been identified and captured and Home Inns & Hotels has apologized and will start improving their service, my two goals have been achieved," wrote the victim, whose surname is Meng and username is "Wanwan_2016" on the microblog website Weibo.

"I've been very tired the last few days and this incident has greatly affected my normal life. My friends even suggested that I should go to see a psychologist," she said.

A video that went viral on Tuesday shows a man trying to drag Meng through a corridor after she exits an elevator; five to six minutes pass before anyone comes to help her. The Chinese public is shocked and outraged by the video, which has garnered 2.35 billion views and millions of comments and reweets thus far on Sina's Weibo microblog site.
