PETALING JAYA: Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana) yesterday apprehended a pervert who had harassed a female passenger on board the Kelana Jaya LRT Line, and surrendered him to the police.
Prasarana subsidiary Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Zohari Sulaiman said the group’s auxiliary police made the arrest at the Taman Jaya LRT station following the incident that took place on March 13.
.
The victim, a 21-year-old student of a private university, Nur Dini Van Haeren, had on Monday posted on her Facebook of the encounter she had with the suspect upon boarding the train that morning.
Nur Dini had claimed that the man, 37, gave her “naughty” looks, before whispering vulgarities in her ear.
She then asked the suspect what his problem was, to which he responded with a smile. Nur Dini then took a couple of pictures of the suspect before he alighted a couple of stations later.
Zohari said Prasarana had approached her soon after the post went viral to obtain more details of the incident, before securing closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage of the suspect.
He said the suspect was handed over to the police upon being positively identified by Nur Dini yesterday.
