The member of public who wrote the post said he witnessed a man filming under a woman's skirt at Compass One while on the escalator.

He claimed that the man had looked around to check that he was not watched.

The member of the public claimed to have caught a glimpse of the footage on the man's phone and confronted the alleged perpetrator, who denied his actions.

The member of public claimed that the victim "wasn’t aware what was going on and look shocked when I told her she was being filmed".

In his post, he sought Facebook users' help in identifying the alleged perpetrator and woman in question. He later added an update saying that the woman in question has contacted him.
