Caught after angry dad tracks him down
IT WAS a harmless game of hide and seek, and she was covering her
eyes with one hand and counting down when she allegedly felt
someone pulling her arm.
Her first thought was that one of her cousins was playing with
her.
But when she lowered her hand, five-year-old Annie (not her real
name) realised with a shock that the
person standing next to her and holding her arm was not her cousin,
but a foreign worker.
The suspect being led away by a police officer.
The foreign worker then allegedly tried to pull her towards the
lift, but she put up a struggle.
Her cousins, who saw the incident, dashed home to get help from the
adults.
In the meantime, Annie managed to break free from the man's grasp.
He then left quickly.
The incident happened on Saturday evening when Annie and her
cousins were playing in the eighth-storey corridor of an HDB block
in Bishan, where they had gone to attend a wedding.
Annie's father later spotted a man matching his daughter's
description sitting at a pavilion near the void deck of the block
where the incident happened.
When the police arrived, the suspect was sitting in the pavilion,
with his face resting on the table.
A police spokesman said the suspect, a 25-year-old worker from
India, has been released on bail.
The police are investigating this as a case of wrongful
restraint.
