Police have caught and arrested a 56-year-old Hong Kong man suspect who seemed to have a mission to splash a warm liquid onto the buttocks to the lower back of not less than 10 female walkers, the incident which started over a month ago.
The arrest was made during the police patrol on Great George Street, Causeway Bay on Friday night when he was seen by the officer splashing a mysterious liquid from the vacuum flask onto the buttocks of a 17-year-old girl on her way, the police said
Police said they have initially received reports from 9 women whose ages ranged from 16 to 32 from the 20th of January to the 18th of February saying they were splashed with a warm liquid toward their back position by an unknown person on their way in Mong Kok. They later observed that their clothes had been wet and the offender had disappeared, it was added.
The police spokesperson said she had noticed in the recent past that some people have posted on social media that they had similar experiences, and urged them or any witnesses to come forward to the Mong Kok crime squad.
Police said the man was suspected to be a serial offender.
Police warned that the offence of outraging public decency was a serious crime that could lead to a maximum sentence of seven years in jail.
