After being allegedly abused, an Indonesian maid tried to escape from her employer through a 22nd floor window, local media reported on Tuesday.
When her employer, who employed her to take care of her 22nd floor condominium here, was away with her family, the maid escaped by climbing out of the window at about 3 p.m. on Monday.
A neighbor, who saw her leaving the unit through the window, called a security guard.
By the time the guard arrived, the maid was already on a ledge of the 17th floor.
The guard, thinking she wanted to jump, persuaded her not to do it.
After some time, she relented and was brought to safety about 5 p.m.
The 21-year-old maid had been working for her employer for 4 months.
According to the guard, the maid had marks on her lips, legs and hands.
"She was weak and claimed that she was abused by her employer.
"She also claimed that her employer had a closed-circuit television camera in the house to monitor her every move," the New Straits Times quoted the guard as saying.
The maid lodge a police report against her employer after she was brought to safety, a police spokesman said.
She was also sent to hospital for a check-up.
