Singapore - A 74-year-old man who molested a female passenger and then dashed off a Singapore bus was jailed for six months, news reports said on Friday.
Ng Choon Kang fled at a bus stop with driver Tan Chuan Huat in pursuit. The 44-year-old driver caught Tan and drove to an interchange, where Ng was arrested.
A district court heard on Thursday that Ng and the 46-year-old victim were on board the bus on September 22, 2004, The Straits Times reported.
The woman felt a hand brush around her body and under her armpit. She turned to see Ng pull his hand away. She shouted at the assailant and informed the driver.
Ng was brought to court in April 2005 but jumped bail. He was caught again earlier this month. - Sapa-dpa
