Cyclist preys on women in short skirts climbing stairs of Tampines bridge

Ladies who love short skirts & stay at Tampines beware.. This was taken from the New Paper.

He was often seen hanging around a bus stop in Tampines, as if he was waiting for a bus or a friend. But he was perched on a bicycle and didn't seem too concerned every time a bus pulled up. The man would spring into action only when a woman in a short skirt climbed the stairs to the overhead bridge nearby. That was his cue to cycle slowly along the walkway next to the stairs, slyly casting glances upwards to try to catch an "upskirt" view of the woman climbing the stairs. The pervert would then return to his "resting spot" and wait for his next victim to show.

When The New Paper observed him at the bus stop opposite Block 245 on Tampines Avenue 4 for more than two hours on 24 Sep, he did this at least 12 times.Dressed in T-shirt and jeans, the tanned man, who appeared to be in his 30s, showed up around 7.45am and stayed till 10am. The next day, The New Paper observed him for around three hours and the same routine was repeated.

As most commuters were in a hurry on their way to work at that time, the man's behaviour may have largely gone unnoticed. But one observant woman became suspicious and tipped off The New Paper. Last Monday, when The New Paper observed him again, the man arrived earlier, at 6.15am, and he was riding a different bicycle.

On some days he would not show up at all. And it was not easy to spot him at first as there were many cyclists there. Some had locked their bicycles against metal posts along the sheltered walkway before boarding buses, while others were passing by. During the morning rush hour, many commuters alight at the bus stop before using the overhead bridge to get to Tampines MRT station or the bus interchange on the opposite side of the road. The overhead bridge does not have gaps between every step. The man would scrutinise each woman who walked past, but tailed only women in short skirts.

The New Paper tried approaching him on Monday, but he quickly cycled off before we could talk to him.
