SINGAPORE — The police have arrested a 38-year-old man after he was spotted taking a video up the skirt of a female victim at Clementi MRT Station. He is suspected to be involved in other similar cases at train stations.

In a news release on Wednesday (July 7), the police said that on-duty officers from the Public Transport Security Command (TransCom) saw the man allegedly taking the upskirt video on an escalator at Clementi MRT Station at 7.20am on Tuesday.
