CAIRO: A video of an Egyptian woman punching a man after he harassed her in the street in front of her son, has gone viral.
The woman can be seen in the video wearing a yellow shirt, shouting at the man after she said he harassed her.
She then can be seen approaching the man, and catching him by surprise as she punches him.
“Let this happen to you to become an example, did you think I’m a coward?” the woman can be heard shouting.
A group of other men try to resolve the issue and get the harasser to apologize to her, but the woman refuses to let it go.
It is understood the harasser was taken to a nearby police station to report the incident.
President Abdel Fattah al Sisi recently ratified a law on sexual harassment, with amendments calling for the tightening of penalties on those who harass others at public or private places by making sexual insinuations whether by gesture, words or action.
