Hong Kong auxiliary policeman arrested for alleged indecent act while driving taxi
Man, 57, arrested on suspicion of outraging public decency after a female passenger alerted police officers at her destination
An off-duty Hong Kong auxiliary police officer has been suspended from duty after he was arrested for allegedly performing an indecent act while driving a taxi in Causeway Bay.
The man, 57, was transporting a female passenger when she reportedly noticed his alleged indecent act as the taxi drove along the Canal Road Flyover.
When she arrived at her destination in Happy Valley, the woman, 55, alerted police officers nearby, saying the man had allegedly been masturbating while driving.
He was arrested on suspicion of outraging public decency.
A police spokesman confirmed that the officer has been suspended from duty, saying the force attached great importance to the conduct of its personnel. Any unlawful behaviour would not be tolerated and would be dealt with seriously, he added.
The case is being handled by the Wan Chai district crime squad.
