The footage of the suspect was captured on closed-circuit television cameras in the hall, and the student - accompanied by an NTU officer - made a police report, an NTU spokesperson confirmed with CNA on Friday.
"Our priority is to ensure her welfare and we are commencing our own investigations into the incident. Given that police investigations are on-going, we are unable to provide further details," NTU said.
This case comes two days after police confirmed they were investigating a 19-year-old man for criminal trespass following a peeping Tom incident at NTU last weekend.
The perpetrator, who was neither a student nor an employee of the university, was detained by several students after he allegedly took photos of another man in the male shower at a residential hall.
