Police are searching for a man suspected of groping a 21-year-old woman on the escalators at Můstek metro station in central Prague. The incident occurred shortly before midnight on Thursday, 3 July.
According to police spokesperson Jan Rybanský, the suspect allegedly followed the woman after she exited a train and touched her inappropriately from behind while they were riding the escalator. The woman quickly recorded the man’s face on her phone and alerted police officers at the scene, but the suspect managed to leave on a tram before officers arrived.
The case is currently being investigated as disorderly conduct, though authorities noted it may be reclassified. Police are appealing to the public for help in identifying the man. Anyone with information is urged to call emergency line 158.
