The incident occurred at 10:55 a.m. and was captured on video. The CCTV footage clearly showed the perpetrator, who fled quickly after the woman resisted and cried for help.
After the incident, onlookers gathered, but the harasser escaped before he could be apprehended.
The incident caused outrage on social media, prompting police to start a manhunt for the man who was clearly seen harassing the woman.
This is the third such incident in the port city as the previous two incidents occurred in Karachi’s Gulistan-e-Jauhar and Orangi Town.
