According to reports, the women were assaulted by two foreign men who allegedly groped them and attempted to move them to another location. The women’s distress was interrupted when a plainclothes police patrol happened to be nearby and observed the assault.
The officers intervened promptly, deterring the assailants and providing assistance to the victims. Authorities have not yet released detailed descriptions of the suspects and are continuing their investigation. The incident has raised concerns about safety in the popular district, prompting calls for increased patrols and security measures in the area.
