Hong Kong man arrested after 14-hour spree of indecent assault involving 8 women and girls

A 23-year-old man suspected of indecently assaulting seven girls and women around a private housing estate in Hung Hom in the space of 13 hours over the past two days was arrested yesterday when he allegedly attacked his eighth target - a 16 year old.

The arrest was made about half an hour after he allegedly attacked three schoolgirls aged 13 to 15 at a fast-food outlet in Tak Man Street, near Whampoa Garden, at about 7am.

"Investigations showed the man grabbed their breasts and then ran out of the fast-food shop," a police source said.

"As police were searching for him, he was intercepted by passers-by after he was accused of indecently assaulting a 16-year-old girl nearby."

The man was arrested at about 7.30am in Bulkeley Street, a short distance from Tak Man Street.
