THE “Sex Crazy Uncle” who has been terrorising passengers with his indecent acts in LRT coaches has been nabbed, Berita Harian reported.

The suspect, a 41-year-old man, was detained at 8.30pm by the Prasarana Malaysia Berhad’s Auxiliary Police Special Action Team.

Prasarana spokesman Lim Jin Aun said police were on the lookout for the man after a victim posted a video recording of him on social media on Aug 14.

“After we detained him, we contacted the victim to identify the man.

“The suspect also admitted doing the act and he was handed over to the Dang Wangi district police station,” he said in a statement on Thursday.

Lim said they had been monitoring the situation and commended the police’s efficiency in investigating the matter leading to the man being detained.

He advised passengers to report such incidents or any criminal acts to Prasarana as soon as possible for action to be taken.

> Well-known model Kate Davis (pic), 25, said she was looking for opportunities to be involved in acting.

Davis, whose real name is Kathrina Ridzuan, has been modelling since she was 18.

She said she wanted to try something new that could give her a different experience.

“I am interested in modelling but it has its limits, especially with new models coming in and modelling for free.

“They have jeopardised older models like me,” she said.

Davis, who is of Malay and English parentage, said she learned acting at The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre with a teacher from Japan.
