A man was sentenced to two weeks’ jail after he forcefully dragged a woman into the lift of a HDB block and tried to stop her from leaving.<\/p>\n
Malaysian national Wang Qingxiang (transliteration), 24, pleaded guilty in court on Oct 29 to a charge of attempting to wrongfully confine a person, reported Shin Min Daily News.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred at a HDB block in Ubi on the evening of Sept 21.<\/p>\n
Court documents reportedly state that Wang had met the victim near Ubi MRT station to introduce a job opportunity.<\/p>\n
The pair discussed this opportunity as they walked to Wang’s block.<\/p>\n
At about 11.25 pm, the man invited the woman to his home to continue the discussion.<\/p>\n
The woman declined and tried to leave, but Wang prevented her from doing so by grabbing her arm and body. She screamed for help.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the doors of the nearby lift opened, Wang dragged the woman inside and held onto her while pressing the lift button to close the doors, according to Shin Min.<\/p>\n
Just as the doors were about to shut, the victim reportedly broke free and escaped.<\/p>\n
She lodged a police report, stating that the incident induced feelings of panic and fear. She reportedly worried Wang was trying to rape her.<\/p>\n
Wang was arrested on Sept 22 and remained in remand since then.<\/p>\n
In court, the prosecution said the victim had escaped by chance, and would have otherwise been trapped alone with Wang in the small enclosed lift.<\/p>\n
