Chow, 31, of Monterey Park, Calif., was arrested Monday, Nov. 10, on suspicion of molesting a 10-year-old boy in the restroom of a Dave and Busters restaurant in Arcadia, after being chased through the restaurant by the alleged victim's mother and detained by security personnel.

ARCADIA, Calif. — A man suspected of molesting a 10-year-old boy in the restroom of a Southern California restaurant was arrested after the child's mother chased him down and security personnel detained him.

Police in Arcadia say Kwan Chow was taken into custody Monday on suspicion of committing a lewd act with a child.

The 31-year-old Monterey Park resident is being held on $200,000 bail and is due in court Thursday. Police said they didn't know if Chow has a lawyer.

A preliminary investigation determined the boy was fondled in the restroom at a Dave and Busters restaurant. The child told his mother about the incident and she ran after the suspect.

Detectives are looking for any additional victims. Police say they have identified another boy who Chow is suspected of molesting at the same restaurant.
