Indecent act alleged in resort hostel

A tourist has been arrested in Queenstown after allegedly performing an indecent act in a hostel dorm room.

Sergeant Steve Watt said the man (22) was sharing the room in the Shotover Street backpackers with an associate, and a woman and her godfather.

At 3am on Sunday he allegedly asked the woman if she would exchange sexual favours for "a smoke".

She refused and he allegedly pulled down his trousers and walked towards her with his genitals showing.

She pushed him away and reported the incident to police later that day. The man is due to appear in Queenstown District Court this morning.
