A 24-year-old woman was allegedly sexually assaulted after being pushed to the ground by a man while walking to the Wangsa Maju LRT station early in the morning on Sunday, 2 August
According to China Press, the incident occurred at 6.50am when she was walking alone to the LRT station.
She was allegedly ambushed by a man who pushed her to the ground. After she got back up, the man allegedly grabbed her in a bear hug, restricting her movements.
The suspect then allegedly molested the victim before fleeing the scene.
Due to the sudden nature of the incident, the victim was unable to get a clear look at the man's face.
She only managed to note that he was wearing a blue jersey with a number printed on it.
Wangsa Maju district police chief ACP Annas Sulaiman confirmed that police had received a report on the incident.
