A Hong Kong man surnamed Lam reportedly hanged himself at North Point Police Station yesterday after he attempted to molest a 16-year-old girl.
Lam, aged 43, was found dead in his police cell at 4:57pm yesterday, having hanged himself with a rope made of clothes and blankets, HK01 reports. He was arrested on Friday on suspicion of attempted indecent assault and was due to appear in court today.
Lam is accused of following the 16-year-old, who was not legally identified, from a public library to her home on the afternoon of June 18, Oriental Daily reports.
The victim, a Secondary Five student, said Lam followed her into the elevator of her apartment building. As she was exiting the lift, Lam allegedly dragged the girl to a back staircase by the straps of her rucksack, and ran away after she resisted and shouted for help.
