"Hey! I'm walkin' here!" is one of the most recognisable movie quotes ever. It comes from the film "Midnight Cowboy", shouted out by actor Dustin Hoffman after a taxi nearly hits him when crossing the road.
However, it may not be wise to use him as a role model and emulate such "macho man" behaviour.
That said, is it true that a male pedestrian assaulted a woman in Mersing as seen in a viral video?
Verdict:
TRUE
Police have arrested a man for allegedly punching a woman outside a supermarket in Mersing.
Mersing deputy OCPD Deputy Supt Mohd Nizam Yusoff said a 47-year-old local man was arrested at about 12.15am on Saturday (April 12) after the victim lodged a police report.
He said the incident occurred after the victim, who was driving a car, tried to avoid the suspect who was crossing the road, reported Bernama.
He said the 48-year-old woman suffered bruises on his forehead and a broken nose.
DSP Mohd Nizam added that the suspect tested positive for methamphetamine and was remanded under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code for four days.
He said the case is being investigated under Section 325 of the Penal Code for intentionally causing grievous hurt without a weapon and Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
Earlier, a 42-second video showing a man suddenly punching a woman in front of a supermarket went viral on Facebook.
