Singapore police arrest man at Nanyang Technological University for insulting modesty of female student

The Singapore Police Force said that it received a call for assistance at a bus stop along Nanyang Drive at about 2.40pm.

“A 26-year-old man was arrested for the offence of insulting the modesty of a person,” said the police.

In response to queries, a spokesperson for the university said the man involved was not an NTU student but a participant in a short-term course conducted at the university.

The university’s pastoral care team reached out to the female student immediately after the incident, the spokesperson added.

A passer-by said she had seen a string of police cars at a bus stop near the North Spine – near the National Institute of Education – where two women and a man were questioned by the police.
