WATCH: Another woman falls prey to street harassment in Karachi

In Karachi, a metropolitan city where citizens fear being robbed or shot by armed burglars moving freely even in broad daylight, street harassment has also become a big fear, especially for women as another lady fell prey to the menace, Geo News reported on Friday.

A man riding a motorcycle was caught on CCTV camera blatantly groping a woman passing by in a street of a residential area in North Karachi in district central. The woman was accompanied by a child, apparently bringing him back from school in the afternoon.

The harasser's face was clearly seen in the video captured by a CCTV camera.

Police took notice of the matter and said that the offender fled the scene after the incident. However, the police said a search was underway for him.

It may be noted that this is the first such incidence of the year 2024, as multiple cases of a similar nature surfaced last year.

In 2023, two women found themselves in a dangerous situation in separate instances when men riding motorcycles tried to touch them inappropriately.

The most appalling of them was the one where the suspect tried to sexually assault a woman walking in a street.

The video showed the man doing lewd actions in the presence of a woman whom he then tried to attack, but the alleged victim fended him off and escaped.
