A video of a man allegedly taking upskirt videos with what is believed to be a recording device hidden in a backpack - which he carried with one hand - has gone viral after it was posted on 12 September by a Facebook user

At the beginning of the video, the man in question looked like any other person as he walked among the crowd in the bazaar area of Publika, Solaris Dutamas with a red backpack in his hand

As he surveyed his surroundings while walking to and fro, the initial impression is that he might have gotten lost. As he began to shoulder his bag, something caught his eye. He immediately held the backpack in his hand again...

... And started following a woman in a patterned dark blue dress very, very closely while holding his backpack at a very awkward angle

At the end of the crowded stretch, the woman appeared to have noticed that the man had been following her at close proximity. At that, the man slung his backpack over one shoulder and took out his phone.

According to the uploader Roberto Calleja, who claimed that he had been following the man's behaviour for about 15 minutes, the man would take down his bag "whenever he sees a lady in short skirt"

Calleja also wrote that security officials in Publika were in the know and started looking for the man, but he managed to escape before he was caught.

Watch the video here:

Just now happened at #PublikaSolarisDutamas. The fellow with the red bag had something inside it that could take pictures of ladies in short skirts. I followed his behavior for good 15 minutes and whenever he sees a lady in short skirt he took down his bag to take pictures. Look how he follows the lady in blue skirt. Good that security at Publika was respondent and started looking after him. The fella ran away but ladies please be more than careful of your surroundings.

Just last month, this guy was caught red-handed when he filmed up a girl's skirt on an elevator in Mid Valley:

While a 41-year-old father of two blamed the victims of his indecent behaviour on their "sexy clothes" after he was filmed scratching his private parts while uttering obscene words at them:

However, on 13 September, Publika's management confirmed that they have apprehended the man after he returned to the mall
