Bangalore police arrested a suspect Akshay (23) for kidnapping and attempting to rape a Manipuri woman.
Akshay, a cab driver and a resident of Kanakapura Road, is also involved in an attempt-to-murder case.
The suspect has confessed that he was on night duty on April 23 and tried to abduct the victim at Katriguppe under the influence of alcohol, reports Deccan Herald.
A CCTV footage, which shows the suspect lifting off the woman, has gone viral.
The victim was talking to a friend on her phone when Akshay came from behind and grabbed her. He Akshay dragged her to an under-construction building, where he tried to molest her. He ran away when she raised an alarm and bit his palm.
The CCTV which recorded the entire incident also shows the movement of at least one onlooker. Though there seems to have been eye witnesses to the ghastly act, none rushed to the woman's rescue immediately.
But a few residents seem to have responded to her distress call, which probably prompted him to flee.
