A viral video captured by a security camera with a man hitting a 22-year-old woman, Marie Laguerre, has spread immediately. It turned out, that he hit her after she screamed at him to stop making harassing remarks to her.
The video also features people who saw the incident and stood up to take action against the violence committed by the man.
French public radio Franceinfo reports, this man is 25 years old and underwent psychiatric treatment at a Parisian hospital for the past month. The name remains unknown, however, he was arrested right after he left the hospital.
The man wasn’t charged before. “Magistrates will now decide whether to put him under formal investigation for sexual harassment and violence,” The Associated Press reports. “The formal investigation is the first step towards an indictment.”
The video was watched more than 6 million times after it was uploaded by the victim, Marie Laguerre.
Today, Marie Laguerre will identify the suspect. “This is an unacceptable behavior. It happens everyday, everywhere, and I don’t know a single woman who doesn’t have a similar story,” Laguerre wrote in the video caption. “I am sick of feeling unsafe walking in the street. Things need to change, and they need to change now.”
According to NPR, the man might be charged with fines of up to 750 euros ($870).
