This is the extraordinary moment a pervert was allegedly caught filming up skirts with his mobile phone from a train window.

Samuel Tjin, 36, is said to have regularly filmed women and girls on his 7.30am commute from Revesby, south-west Sydney to the CBD.

He appeared to deliberately sit in the bottom section of the carriage to give himself the best angle.

Tjin was allegedly caught in the act by A Current Affair after a tip off from a train passenger.

Accosting Tjin outside his home, sharp-tongued reporter Steve Marshall said: ‘I’ve heard of snakes on a plane but I haven’t heard of a snake on a train.’

Tjin looked awkward and said ‘it was wrong.’ Asked if he admits what he has done, he said: ‘Yeah, I do.’

He was arrested and charged with 13 counts of filming private parts without consent.

Two of the charges relate to girls under the age of 16. Tjin is on bail, due to face court in June.

Filming private parts or ‘upskirting’ is punishable by up to five years in jail when it involves victims younger than 16.
