When she arrived at Paya Lebar MRT station, she alighted and got on an escalator to transfer to the East-West line.
She suddenly sensed someone very close to her and "felt extremely uncomfortable".
When she turned around, she saw a man in his 30s holding a mobile phone with the camera facing upwards under her dress.
"He was flustered when he saw me turn around and quickly put his mobile phone back into his pocket," Miss Tan said.
"I pretended to be making a call to my friend and moved down the escalator so that I was behind him."
She then followed him into a train heading towards Pasir Ris.
"I stood not too far away from him and called the police to report him. I then used my mobile phone camera to capture his appearance."
When the man discovered that she had taken a photo of him, he dashed out of the carriage when the MRT train pulled into Bedok MRT station and ran down the stairs.
Miss Tan told Lianhe Wanbao: "He was running away while I chased him, and once I reached ground level, I banged on the door of the station control, pointing at the upskirt pervert while I asked for help from the SMRT officials.
"After around five minutes, the officials caught hold of him and hauled him back."
The man was detained at the MRT station control until three police officers arrived.
He was subsequently taken to a police station after Miss Tan related the incident to the officers.
The police confirmed that they received a call on June 12 at about 5.55pm requesting for assistance at Bedok MRT station.
They later arrested a man in relation to the case.
Miss Tan said she contacted the police on Tuesday for updates on the case and found out that the suspect had been released on bail pending investigations.
"I feel extremely uneasy, especially after I heard that he lives near my home. I'm afraid that I might bump into him," she said.
Meanwhile, prompt action by a bus driver on Thursday night also led to the arrest of a man who allegedly molested a woman.
Noticing a ruckus in his bus between a man and a woman, the driver promptly locked the doors and stopped the vehicle at Jalan Eunos.
He then called the police.
In the incident onboard a packed double-decker bus at around 8pm, the female commuter felt someone fondling the area around her back.
She turned around and confronted a man in his 50s.
An eyewitness said: "Many of the passengers on the top deck were unaware of what had happened, so a large group moved to the lower deck.
"The lower deck became too crowded, so the driver opened the doors to let some passengers out to take another bus."
The police arrived soon after and arrested the man.
The female commuter described the experience as an "unhappy" one and declined to be interviewed.
Police investigations for both cases are ongoing.
