PETALING JAYA, May 22 — Police have arrested two suspects in separate incidents within an hour of them committing lewd acts against their victims, thanks to quick thinking by the public and police officers who prevented the duo from escaping.
Petaling Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zani Che Din said personnel from the Sea Park police station detained a 55-year-old suspect after receiving an alert from the public of an ongoing brawl at the SS2 night market around 8.55pm yesterday.
“When our personnel arrived, they saw the suspect struggling with several members of the public before a woman came over and claimed that the suspect had ejaculated on her back with visible stains on her hair earlier,” he said today.
The traumatised victim surnamed Lee, 20, said she felt someone splashing an unknown liquid on the back of her shirt while she was out walking with her sibling at the night market around 8.50pm.
Mohd Zani said the victim’s sibling saw the suspect suddenly appearing from behind and ejaculating his semen onthe victim before escaping into the crowd.
In another case, a 21-year-old suspect from Putrajaya was detained by police for allegedly molesting a female commuter on the escalator at the Kota Damansara MRT station this morning.
Mohd Zani said the 25-year-old victim got onto the escalator and saw the suspect standing in front of her before overtaking him around 6.45am.
“Towards the end of the escalator, the suspect suddenly went in front of the victim and turned around to grab her hip before hastily escaping on the opposite escalator.
“The victim then immediately alerted auxiliary policemen on duty after informing officers manning the information desk,” he said.
He said the victim and auxiliary policemen managed to locate the suspect passing through the lobby before making an arrest.
“A team from the Kota Damansara police station was dispatched to the scene around 7.30am after receiving the call from the auxiliary policemen,” he said.
