Police have arrested a former soldier who allegedly claimed to be a Grab taxi driver then raped his 15-year-old customer under Krung Thon Bridge in Bangkok almost three weeks ago. Pol Maj Gen Senit told media that police acted after receiving a complaint on Aug 19 by the parents of the 15-year-old regarding the alleged assault. The suspect punched her several times in a bid to subdue her before raping her, Pol Maj Gen Senit said. Following a brief chat with one of his intended victims, he would show up in person claiming to be a Grab driver and offer them a lift, the officer said. Grab Thailand issued a statement on Friday saying the suspect was not a Grab driver.
