Serdang OCPD Asst Comm AA Anbalagan said police are on the hunt for a suspect, believed to be a foreign national, over the stalking incident at a convenience store in Taman Sri Serdang.
He said the incident occurred when the victim, a female employee at the store, was working at 11am, on Saturday (July 22).
ACP Anbalagan said the suspect, who previously worked as a car washer, is believed to have often watched the complainant and frequently harassed the woman at work since the beginning of this year, causing her to be emotionally disturbed and worried about her safety.
