Hong Kong police have arrested a 65-year-old man in connection with a suspected indecent assault case in Mong Kok hours after footage appeared online showing a passenger harassing a schoolgirl sitting in front of him on a bus.
Police said officers intercepted the suspect at the boundary checkpoint of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.
The victim, 17, is understood to be a Form Three student.
The incident took place at around noon on Friday as the KMB bus was stopping near an intersection of Mong Kok Road and Sai Yeung Choi Street South.
The 37-second video filmed from what appeared to be the opposite side of the road shows a man in a white tank top reaching his left arm forward to touch the side of the chest of a girl in a school uniform sitting directly in the row in front of him on the upper deck of the bus.
The victim is looking at her phone and seems to lean forward slightly as if trying to avoid the touch. But she remains in her seat.
