In the 20-second clip, the man was seen deliberately bumping into multiple women with his shoulder, even when there was ample space to walk.
His actions earned him glares from his victims.
According to mStar, members of the public apprehended the 41-year-old unemployed suspect at around 5.30pm.
He was later arrested by the police, as confirmed by Temerloh District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Mazlan Hassan in a statement on Thursday (13 March).
Mr Hassan explained that three women, who claimed to have been molested by the man, filed reports after the video of the incident went viral on TikTok.

He said that the first victim, aged 26, reported being molested by the suspect on 6 March, while the second and third victims — aged 23 and 27 respectively — reported similar incidents last Monday (10 March).
The victims stated that while walking around the bazaar to buy food for breaking their fast, the suspect deliberately bumped into them and touched their chest and buttocks with his hands.
The suspect admitted to the act and explained that he molested his victims because he had not been with a woman for a long time after testing positive for HIV 13 years ago.
The case is being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code, which deals with assault or the use of criminal force with the intent to outrage a person’s modesty.
