        A 39-year-old man is suspected of indecent assault on a girl in Tuen Mun.
        
        The police received a report at around 5:00 pm Sunday, alleging that a man was suspected of molesting a young girl at the Castle Peak Children's Playground in Castle Peak Fung.
        
        It is understood that at the time of the incident, a 6-year-old girl was playing alone in the Qingshan Children's Playground. The girl's mother was taking care of two other children. During the incident, the man involved approached and asked to play a game of "scissors and scissors" with the girl. A neighbor saw the man taking the opportunity to touch the girl's body and immediately called the police.
        
        The man involved tried to escape. Bystanders followed him to the entrance of a nearby shopping mall and worked together to stop the man. When police arrived, they arrested the 39-year-old man on suspicion of indecent assault and took him away. The suspect will be detained for investigation and handed over to the Tuen Mun Police District Criminal Investigation Team for follow-up.
