'He asked for sex... I told him I wasn't really interested. I was very scared. I tried to calm down myself [and tried] not to panic. He was forcing me to kiss him, I told him let me go or I would shout. 'Once I told him I would shout he [let go of] my hands,” said the girl as per Daily Mail.

After breaking free from Rfn Rai's 'rough' grip and leaving the toilets, the woman reported the incident to her boss.
