University student allegedly molested on her way back to hostel, relates ordeal on social media

Two local university students had a horrifying experience when one of them was allegedly molested while they were on their way back to the hostel.

According to The Star Online, the Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) students — Cristal Chua and Tammy Ong, both 20 — were walking back to Chua’s hostel at a nearby condominium in Sungai Long, Kajang when a man crept up behind them and allegedly “grabbed” Chua’s buttocks.

Ong also claimed that the man tried to grab her breasts, but he reportedly fled when she shouted for help.

Not wanting to let the suspect get away with the crime, Chua grabbed her phone and started recording a video. 

 

 

In the video, a plump man wearing a black jersey with the name “Mike” and the number “10” on the back was seen fleeing the scene as the girls gave chase. 

The video has since been shared more than 2,100 times.

The brave girls then took to Facebook to relate their ordeal:

 

 

“I thought it was Tammy (touching my buttocks). I was shocked to see a man behind me.

“He then turned towards Tammy and tried to molest her when she shouted,” Chua said in the video.

Chua also reminded everyone to take photographs or record videos of the culprit as evidence.

“If there is anyone suspicious around you, tell the security guard. Also, please shout to get attention if the situation turns ugly,” Chua further said in the video.

 

 

Meanwhile, Selangor deputy police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Fuad Abdul Latiff told The Star Online in a seperate report that the police are on the hunt for the suspect.

Mohd Fuad told the news portal that both Chua and Ong have lodged police reports over the matter.

“Based on their reports and the video they took of the fleeing suspect, our investigating officer went to the scene to look for evidence.

“We could not identify the man from the footage but believe he could be a resident or someone visiting one of the residents,” he was quoted as saying.

He added that the case is being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code for assault or use of criminal force with intent to outrage a person’s modesty.
