A man who tried to grab a female passenger's breasts on a moving bus has been arrested in Bang Sue district, Bangkok.
Peerapol Yodcharoen, 36, was arrested in Bang Sue district on Wednesday night for the alleged indecent assault of a woman in a public area.
The suspect confessed to the charge.
Earlier, a 24-year-old university student filed a complaint with Bang Sue police that a male passenger had sexually molested her on bus No.8 on Nov 28.
The woman said she was taking the bus opposite Chatuchak weekend market to the Victory Monument when the suspect sitting in the back near a window tried to use his left hand to touch her breasts several times.
Upon seeing his action, she stood up and shouted at him before moving to sit in another seat. She also took his photo as evidence. The man immediately left the bus when it got stuck in traffic near Saphan Kwai intersection, she said.
The incident sparked heavy criticism from netizens after it was posted online.
