‘Why did you comment on my clothing?’: Woman confronts man who heckled her on bus

A video circulating on social media shows a heated confrontation between a woman and a man on a public bus after the man apparently heckled her over her clothing.

The footage, recorded by another passenger, captures the woman standing and furiously confronting the seated man, who can be heard shouting profanities at her. At one point, the man takes of his sandle and starts hitting the woman, in retaliation to which the woman also takes off her sandal and strikes him.

The man then stands up and lunges toward her, pushing her onto a front seat, typically reserved for women.

Another female passenger is seen standing up and attempting to calm the situation, seemingly trying to dissuade the woman from "causing a scene."

When the woman regains her balance, she strikes the man again. Toward the end of the one-minute clip, shared by several media pages and outlets, the man is heard demanding that the video be used to "expose" her.

In response, the woman looks directly into the camera and challenges the person filming to record the incident.

The video has drawn mixed reactions online. While many praised the woman for courageously confronting harassment and standing up for herself on public transport, others criticised her behaviour as "immodest."

The identity of the individuals on the footage have yet to be determined. The exact date and location of the incident also remains unclear as of filing this report.
