Watch: Video allegedly shows man touching woman's thigh on LRT train

KUALA LUMPUR: A man, clad in a white jubah and kopiah, has been accused of touching a woman’s thigh while riding a train on the Sri Petaling LRT line here.

The 53-second clip allegedly shows the elderly man moving his right hand towards the female passenger, who was seated next to him.

The man appeared to glance down towards the woman’s left leg intermittently.

He was also shown moving his fingers until they made contact with the woman's limb.

The woman, who appeared to be asleep, did not move and seemed to be unaware of the man’s actions.

“I have heard of such incidents but I have not seen it with my own eyes. This happened on my way to work in the Sri Petaling LRT line. He stopped when he noticed the Malay couple beside me eyeing him.

“He straight away got off the train at that stop,” the Netizen who uploaded the video claimed in a Facebook posting.

The Netizen advised passengers not to sleep, use their mobile phones or talk to their colleagues during train rides.

She also urged Rapid KL to step up security to prevent such incidents from recurring.

Rapid KL, in a reply to the complainant, said the matter has been forwarded to the relevant parties.
