What she saw next shocked her: A pair of eyes peeping out through the narrow gap between the door and the hinge of the next stall.
Her mother, 50, who had just finished using the toilet herself, saw her daughter looking stunned.
Through the narrow gap, they thought they saw a man.
Mr Winston Tan, 23, a purchasing agent, described the incident that began with his mother and sister spotting the man in the toilet.
'My mother pushed open the door,' he said. 'She pulled his jacket and told him to 'stay here'.
'But the man tried to walk away. My mother then tried to grab him by his pants.'
The incident happened late on Saturday night at a coffee shop on Woodlands Drive 44.
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 width=150 align=right border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>His sister called their father on his handphone, and later, the police.
Both her father and her brother were nearby as the family had gone to the coffee shop for supper together.
When the senior Mr Tan received the call, around 11.45pm, he left his son and rushed to the female toilet.
Mr Tan, 50, an odd-job labourer, told The New Paper: 'The details were a little sketchy. I didn't really understand what was happening except that there was some trouble at the women's toilet and somebody was trying to run away.'
When Mr Tan got there, the man was walking away fast. He was dressed in a T-shirt and jeans and appeared to be a foreigner, in his 20s.
In the meantime, the suspect's friend had apologised outside the toilet, claiming it was 'all a misunderstanding', said Winston.
Mr Tan was not about to let the suspect escape.
He called his son on his handphone to alert him to what had just happened.
Struggle
As the man walked away, Winston arrived and confronted him.
Winston said: 'I told him to stop and wait for the police to arrive. He said he had 'no obligation to stay'. I was thinking that if he was not guilty of anything why was he trying to escape?'
Winston said he tried to grab the suspect's hand, but was pushed away.
The man picked up a rubbish bin and allegedly tried to hit Winston with it.
By then, a crowd of men from the coffee shop had noticed the commotion and surrounded the two men.
From behind, Winston grabbed the man. His father joined him and together they managed to restrain him.
But the suspect put up a struggle.
Said Winston: 'I'm a body-builder but I had problems trying to contain him. I could smell alcohol from his breath.'
The suspect allegedly bit Winston on his arm and stomach, while his father received a cut on his finger during the struggle.
In the chaos, somebody in the crowd punched and kicked the suspect.
Bleeding, the suspect eventually gave up and pleaded to be released.
Said Winston: 'He begged us to let him go. He said he was sorry. But later he changed his tune and said that if we didn't let him go, we would regret it. He said that his 'boss' was on the way.'
At one point, the suspect even accused Winston and his father of trying to rob him.
'It was ridiculous. His wallet had fallen out of his pants during the commotion. All I did was to kick it to one side,' said Winston.
After statements were taken by the police, the man was escorted away.
