Man Kidnaps Ex to Iron Clothes

An Italian man is accused of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend in order to get his ironing done.

The 43-year old man is accused of dragging her out of a pub in Genoa (Italy) and taking her back to his place. There, he forced her to iron his clothes and wash dishes through threats and intimidation. Police were tipped-off by a friend who witnessed the incident.

The man was apparently furious with her for dumping him and police charged him with kidnapping.
