'Someone pushed the wheelchair...'

Lily recorded her testimony in a video, in which, she stated that she had the urge to go to the bathroom while in the waiting area. While she was entering the bathroom, she was approached by the suspect. "Suddenly someone pushed the wheelchair at the door and sat me in the toilet," she said.
