KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 — Police are looking for a man over the alleged assault of a woman, which is believed to have occurred in Jalan Pandan Dua, Pandan Jaya, Ampang here, after a video of the incident went viral yesterday.

He said they were tracking down the suspect and victim seen in the video and, so far, no police report has been lodged by the woman.
