A woman had a harrowing experience at a fast food outlet in Johor Baru when she was attacked and nearly raped in the toilet.
The 20 May incident came to light recently when one of the victim’s friends posted about the assault on his Facebook page.
In the post which has been widely shared, the friend claimed that the victim was reportedly washing her hands after using the toilet at around 6am when she saw the reflection of a man standing behind her.
The man allegedly covered her mouth with his hands and dragged her into a disabled person’s toilet stall.
The man then hit the woman’s head on the wall in an attempt to knock her out, but she managed to scream for help, causing the man to flee with her handbag.
Johor Baru South OCPD Asst Comm Sulaiman Salleh told The Star Online that the suspect, a 20-something part-time worker at the eatery, has been arrested.
“We arrested the suspect at the premises at around 10.35pm on Tuesday,” he said.
