A video posted on Reddit shows a large crowd at Seawoods Station, Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra, confronting a man accused of harassing a woman and hitting her with a stone. The clip, filmed by bystanders, has circulated widely on social media and drawn strong reactions.
In the clip, many people gather around the man and question him loudly. They ask why he hit the woman and why he had the audacity to attack her. At one moment a man in the crowd asks if the accused has no family, a mother, wife or sister, and why he would behave that way.

The accused replies that he was 'getting angry'. He is held in place by the crowd while bystanders urge the victim to hit him with slippers. The woman, who appears to be the victim, angrily shouts “Kyun mara” (why did you hit) as she thrashes him with slippers.
Bystanders' reaction and public mood
People in the video show visible anger and do not hide their disgust. Some onlookers encourage immediate punishment and call the response 'Faisla on the spot'. Others praised the crowd, with comments like 'This is MUMBAI,' suggesting approval for quick, public action against alleged wrongdoing.
The Reddit post drew a range of comments. Some reactions said the man should be thrown on the railway track; another user agreed, calling his behaviour audacious. One respondent argued against harming the railway, noting practical concerns. The post shows a mix of support for the crowd's response and calls for tougher, formal punishment.
The video raises two issues at once: public anger at an alleged assault, and concern about vigilante action. While many praised those who stopped the man, some comments underline long-standing frustrations with civic services, such as irregular garbage collection or poor local enforcement, which can make citizens feel officials do not act fast enough.
There is no official update yet about any police presence at the time of filming the video or a formal complaint lodged in the matter. The clip also does not show whether the man was formally handed over to police or whether medical help was given to the woman.
