KUALA LUMPUR, March 29 — Police have arrested a Chinese national for indecent behaviour after he was caught allegedly filming a local man in a shopping mall toilet in Bukit Jalil on Thursday.
Cheras district police chief ACP Mohd Rosdi Daud said the suspect, in his 20s, was nabbed at 1.28 pm following a report lodged by the victim.
He said the 11 am incident occurred while the victim was in a cubicle in the men’s toilet on the fourth floor of the premises, when he noticed the suspect attempting to record him using a mobile phone from the adjacent cubicle.
“Following the arrest, police seized the suspect’s mobile phone, and a preliminary check found several lewd videos in the gallery,” he said in a statement
