SINGAPORE - On three different occasions, a teenager approached a stranger from behind and threw a plastic bag or sweater over her head.
Marcus Yow Kai Wen, 16, also covered a fourth victim's eyes with his hands.
On Monday, the secondary school student was placed on 18 months' probation for using criminal force on his victims, aged between 18 and 34, between March and May this year. All four incidents happened in the middle of the night.
Yow has to remain indoors between 9pm and 6am and perform 60 hours of community service. The court also ordered him to seek psychiatric treatment as required. His parents have signed a $5,000 bond to ensure his good behaviour.
