A 24-year-old man allegedly molested a 79-year-old woman at the
void deck of a HDB flat in MacPherson.
The incident happened near
Circuit Road on Monday (May 4) at around 4.35am.
The elderly woman told Shin
Min Daily News that she used to stay at a friend's place, but was
kicked out about a year ago.
Since then, she has been
staying at void decks.
She told the Chinese daily
that she was packing her things when the young man approached her
and started chatting.
"After we had spoken a few
sentences, he grabbed my hand and put it on his stomach. I'm not
that stupid, I knew what he was trying to do," she said.
Arrested
The women immediately stood up
and went to a nearby coffee shop to ask for help.
A man, known only as Mr Cai,
called the police.
Mr Cai told Shin Min Daily
News: "She said a person wanted to molest her. I told her not to be
scared and that I would call the police."
Mr Cai said the young man
wandered about the area until the authorities arrived to question
him.
A police spokesman said a
24-year-old man has been arrested for an alleged molest
case.
Investigations are
ongoing.
