PETALING JAYA: A foreign man was detained for allegedly molesting a woman at the side of the road in Kota Damansara.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid said the woman in her late 30s was walking towards her friend's car at about 9.30pm on Sunday (Aug 28) when she felt someone touching and squeezing her buttocks.
"When she turned around, she saw a foreign man beside her and she shouted before escaping.
"She lodged a police report soon after," he said when contacted on Monday (Aug 29).
An investigation led police to arrest the foreign man in his early 30s, near a condominium in Kota Damansara, he said.
"We are investigating the case under Section 354 of the Penal Code for outraging modesty.
"We urge those with information on the case to come forward to assist the investigation," ACP Mohamad Fakhrudin said.
