Chomutov – Thanks to the timely notification and quick reaction of the police, on Thursday it was possible to catch an initially unknown man who was supposed to harass a young woman in the morning in Chomutov.
When a 19-year-old girl was walking through a place near the bike path at the intersection of Dostojevského and Krátká streets, she was overtaken by an unknown man who, without saying a word, reached her palm into her crotch from behind. She was startled and let out a loud cry, then turned to the man and saw that her loud reaction had also startled him and he was startled himself. She then continued screaming and the person ran away. The victim reported the incident to the police in a few minutes and described the man in detail. The police officers immediately passed the information on the description of the unknown person to all patrols, while one of them noticed a man matching this description while searching the wider area of the scene. The police stopped him, identified him and detained him. The investigator charged the twenty-three-year-old Chomutovan, who confessed to the described behavior, with committing the crime of disorderly conduct that day. Because he was previously punished by court for similar conduct, he is now threatened with up to three years’ imprisonment in court.
