A soldier in his 30s has been arrested for groping a woman on a moving bus late at night.

The Bundang Police Station said Tuesday it had apprehended the suspect, identified only as A, on charges of indecent assault and was investigating the case.

A is accused of groping a woman in her 20s, identified as B, who was seated next to him on a bus in Bundang-gu, Seongnam, at around 10:45 p.m. Monday.

After B reported the incident, officers searched the area where A had disembarked and arrested him within 20 minutes.

Police said they plan to transfer the case to the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency in light of A's status as an active-duty soldier.
