A man in his 50s was arrested by the police for committing an indecent act after he exposed 'his family jewels' to an 11-year-old girl.
The incident took place outside a clinic at Ang Mio Kio Ave 4 on Thursday afternoon at around 3.25pm (June 20).
According to a Lianhe Wanbao report, the victim, who had a fever, was sitting on a sofa at the clinic while waiting for her mother to handle some paperwork.
There were no other patients in the clinic at that time.
The mother said she was at the counter when her daughter came up to her and told her, 'There's a pervert outside the clinic'.
The mother walked outside and saw a man with his pants down, exposing the lower half of his body.
She instinctively shouted while the man took off, then chased after him. A 57-year old man nearby heard her shouting, and blocked the culprit's path and took him back to the clinic.
After getting caught, the man pleaded to be released, saying "I didn't mean it. This is my first time".
The culprit even tried to flee once more when the others weren't looking, but failed.
Police confirmed an arrest was made for an indecent act.
