A woman in her 20s, the wife of a Gurkha, was allegedly molested by a half-naked man at a petrol kiosk in Upper Aljunied Road on Sunday evening. Four Gurkhas and two police officers came to her rescue, pinning down the man.
According to a report in Shin Min Daily, the incident happened at around 5.45pm on March 18 at the Esso petrol kiosk beside Hotel Windsor. The woman was withdrawing money from an ATM in the convenience store there when a man clad only in jeans suddenly gave her a 'bear hug' from behind.
The man, a Singaporean in his early 30s, had shocked the woman, who screamed and then angrily questioned the man, according to an eye-witness. An off-duty Gurkha who happened to be standing outside saw the frantic woman chase after the man. Sensing something was not right, he stopped the man from leaving.
The man, described as very tall and big-sized, tried to escape, but other off-duty Gurkhas arrived to lend a hand. Two policemen also arrived at the scene to arrest the man. It took four Gurkhas and two policemen to subdue the man.
The woman is a wife of a Gurkha and stays in a dormitory near where the incident occurred.
Said STOMPer Gee who read the news report:
"Luckily it was only a bear hug and nothing else. However, still freaky.
"The man was also described as very fierce looking.
"However, he chose the wrong woman to target. She's the wife of a Gurkha soldier, and the Gurkhas are widely regarded as the most fearsome fighters in the world."

Almost everyone know that area has a Gurkha police camp.
