10-year-old abducted from school and molested

A 10-YEAR-OLD girl almost fell victim to rape after she was abducted by a stranger at her school gate.

Harian Metro said the student went through an hour of hell as the man, who was in his 30s, molested her in the bushes located about 2km from the school in Kuala Lumpur at 9am on Tuesday.

Police sources said the girl was saved after the man ran off when he heard voices of passers-by. Earlier, the girl had left her classroom to go to the washroom. On her way there, she was greeted by the man at the school gate.

Suddenly, the man grabbed her and tied her up. He placed her on his motorcycle before speeding off. When they got to the bushes, she cried in fear and begged for mercy as the suspect began to molest her, a police source said.

The girl walked back to her school and her parents later lodged a report at the Setapak police station.

Kuala Lumpur Criminal and Intelligence Operations chief Khairi Rasa confirmed receiving the report and said a search had been launched for the suspect.
