                               How embarrassing! 

In Pendik, Istanbul, on 20 December Melih Can A. (19) allegedly sexually

molested a 16-year-old girl named M.I.B.  The day before yesterday police

arrested Melih Can A. and brought him to a hospital for a medical exam.

However (!), somehow Melih Can A. was able to escape from the hospital

and forced his way into a house across from the hospital. 

The homeowner alerted police who saw that the suspect was hanging from

a window, trying to flee.  With police and neighbors holding the suspect's

legs, Melih Can A. hung down and finally fell onto an awning, from where

citizens grabbed him and delivered him to the police. 

While Melih Can A. was trying to flee from the flat's window he was 

beaten by H.D. (45).  In any event, Melih Can A. who has a police record

of 42 crimes (!) was brought before a judge and charged with "sexual

harassment".  He was then released under judicial supervision. (!!)
