Police have arrested a man who allegedly slapped a foreign Muslim woman in Bukit Mertajam, Penang - for not wearing a headscarf. The 30-year-old was detained for allegedly confronting a group of women and assaulting one of them, at a bus stop in Taman Perwira earlier this month. A 24-year-old Indonesian factory worker, believed to be the woman that was assaulted, came forward on Sunday to lodge a police report on the incident. The suspect was detained at 10.30pm on the same day near Jalan Taman Perwira and has admitted to committing the offence. Police have taken him to the Bukit Mertajam Hospital for health checks, before taking further action. A video of the incident, which went viral on social media over the past week, shows the man verbally abusing the woman before slapping her.
