It was reported that a 24-year-old man claimed he was sodomised by a tattoo artist.
The incident on Tuesday allegedly happened when the victim went to the tattoo artist's premises to get a tattoo.
At one point, the victim claimed to have lost consciousness, while the tattoo artist was working on him, in the 9.30pm incident.
