Peeping Tom caught in the act at LRT station

KUALA LUMPUR: A 23-year-old man was arrested by police for allegedly peeping into the women’s toilet at the Salak Selatan LRT station near here. 

Cheras OCPD Asst Comm Chong Kok Sin said the incident occurred at about 2pm Saturday when a 23-year-old woman went into the toilet. 

He said that while she was in the toilet, she saw a shadow of a person.

When the woman looked up, she saw the head of the man, causing her to run out of the toilet to ask for help.  

ACP Chong said a security guard went into the toilet to open the door to the cubicle and found the suspect inside. 

A scuffle ensued, leaving the suspect injured on the left side of his jaw and on his lips.  

He was sent to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital for treatment by police. 

ACP Chong said the suspect was also found to be allegedly carrying a pocket knife. 

The case is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code for word or gesture intended to insult the modesty of a person.
