Video of a woman slapping a man for filming her in Metro Viral

Women often have to go through unpleasant experiences while travelling on public transport. A related clip showing a woman standing up for herself and dealing with harassment is gaining popularity on social media. The post was shared by Instagram. The clip appears to have been shot in a busy subway train packed with commuters. A woman stands calmly in the middle of the train, dressed in party attire. Suddenly, we see a man in a white shirt sitting sideways across from her. He raises his mobile phone towards the woman as the flash turns on, indicating that he is filming her. When the woman notices him, she immediately walks up to him and slaps him. As the two get into an argument, the camera zooms in on the onlookers standing or sitting nearby. Each person shows an expression of surprise or amusement. The post is shared with a question in the caption, which is written in Portuguese and translates to: “What would you do?”
