The SHO of Paravoor police station in Kollam, where the mother-son duo have lodged a complaint, confirmed the arrest of the accused and said that he was apprehended while trying to escape to Tamil Nadu.
The officer said the incident in question looked like a case of moral policing and they were looking into it.
He told news agency PTI that the accused attacked them while they were having food inside their car on a busy roadside near Paravoor beach.
Seems like a mother and son was attacked near Paravur Lake Kolam by Moral Policing people. Kerala's moral policing brigade is a brutal remnant of the violent patriarchal past and unfortunately continues just as strong.

The accused made obscene comments against the mother and son and when the son objected, Ashish started attacking the vehicle.
When the son stepped out to stop him, he was also attacked and when the mother intervened, she too was not spared. Both the mother and son received multiple injuries.
Their vehicle was also damaged in the assault.
