Hong Kong Tesla driver arrested for allegedly molesting woman after Lan Kwai Fong lift offer
Alleged victim had been waiting for a taxi early on Sunday after drinking with friends in Central
The alleged attack prompted police on Wednesday to remind residents to remain vigilant and avoid getting into cars with strangers.
A source said the 48-year-old suspect, a chemist at a public hospital, was apprehended when he went for lunch from work on Wednesday.
As of Wednesday evening, the man, a local resident, remained in police custody.
The woman, an office worker, had been waiting for a taxi at about 4am on Sunday to return to her Wan Chai home after drinking with friends in Central.
“After failing to find a taxi, the victim was allegedly approached by the suspect in his Tesla and was offered a ride home. He claimed it was on his way and invited her into his car,” the insider said.
