Not just that, the man also warned to kidnap her and do such things that she won't be able to "show her face to anyone".
“He tried to enter the booth but when other employees stopped him, he pushed his hand through the window and hit my chest and tried to tear my clothes,” she claimed

“Toll plaza officials have done enough to ensure our safety. We have male employees with us inside or near the booths, and we only work in the day shift. But commuters also have to be inclined to treat us with respect,” said another woman toll tax collector. The women wait for the police to arrest the accused.
