Mumbai: In another blow to Mumbai's reputation as a city safe for women, a 27-year-old was allegedly molested in the first class compartment of a local train on Tuesday night.
The woman had boarded the local at Kurla around 10 pm and was travelling to Vashi.
She told the police that the coach was almost empty and there was not a single policeman inside.
When she was allegedly attacked, she raised an alarm and people from an adjoining compartment helped pin the accused down.
The police have arrested the accused, identified as Solomon Rajamani Robert.
The incident comes just over a week after an American woman was attacked and robbed inside a local train on August 18.
24-year-old Michelle Mark, who has been working in Mumbai for three years and regularly takes the train, was slashed with a blade on her face, arms and neck when she tried to resist the robbery attempt.
She told the police that a man got on her compartment and tried to snatch her handbag. After attacking her, he snatched her iPhone and ran away, she said in her complaint.
Ms Mark added that she had boarded a largely empty compartment from the Churchgate station in south Mumbai.
