A man was arrested on Monday for allegedly sexually assaulting an 80-year-old differently-abled woman in this district a few days ago, police said.

The incident took place on October 20 when the victim was found injured in an isolated area in Kottiyam near here, they said.

Rashid (33) was taken into custody on Sunday night, and his arrest was recorded today.
