Off-duty Hong Kong policeman arrested on suspicion of taking upskirt photos of colleague in MTR station
- Police say the incident took place at Prince Edward MTR station as the woman was riding an escalator
- It is at least the second time a police officer has been arrested over the same offence in the past two months
An off-duty policeman was arrested on suspicion of taking upskirt photos – of a female colleague attached to the force’s complaints office, no less – at a Hong Kong railway station, the force said on Wednesday.
Police were called to the Prince Edward MTR station in Mong Kok soon after 6pm on Tuesday after the 28-year-old off-duty constable was accused of using his mobile phone to take photos under a woman’s skirt while on an escalator.
A police source said the woman involved was a female senior inspector with the force’s Complaints Against Police Office.
The constable, who is attached to the Kowloon East traffic unit, was arrested on suspicion of loitering, he said.
The suspect has been released on bail pending further investigation, but is required to report back to police next month.
Detectives from the Mong Kok district crime squad are investigating.
