Police Investigating Man Who Touched Himself In Front Of Secondary School Girl In Viral Video

In Singapore, we have a culture of shooting video and shaming them online later. Kind of like a dystopia big brother future thing we thought will never come.

In some cases, the person taking the video goes too far. Either because he (or she) decided to film instead of helping or shame for the sake of shaming.

Then came along this dude who decided to show that sometimes, a viral video (or in this case, videos) is what’s needed to get the stuff done.

Man Touched Himself In Viral Videos

If you’ve been online since 2 July, you might have been aware of an incident that went viral in Singapore.

A series of videos made its way onto Twitter.

The content? A man touching himself on the bus in front of a secondary school girl.

if y’all see this shit contact the police immediately and separate the victim from the person. it’s disgusting i had to witness it first hand but im glad my mum raised me to not just sit and watch when these things happen. don’t ever think twice about helping someone in need. pic.twitter.com/ClM7asMkVZ

Luckily for the secondary school girl, a man named Yang decided to step in.

He got the girl to follow him down the bus and told the bus driver what happened. Then, they trapped the man within the bus while waiting for the police to arrive.

he kept trying to leave and the girl was srsly damn frightened sia pic.twitter.com/JIMXezbsJE

Police Involved 

So, as mentioned previously, they managed to keep the man on the bus until the men in blue arrived.

Mr Yang then handed over the footage and told them what happened.

And according to reports, the police is launching an investigation into the incident.

What He Did Differently

So why is Mr Yang regarded a hero when other people aren’t as celebrated? It’s how he handled the situation.

True, he captured footage on his phone to upload to the internet (same as other users), but here’s what he did different: he stepped in and offered his assistance too.

there was this one viral video of a guy sitting on train doing the same shit to himself at a girl beside him. people in the train did nothing and the person still can take video…..omg jansjsj your momma raised you well!!! good karma will come to you 😫😄❤️ once again THANK YOU!

Omg, i am so so so happy you actually stopped & helped the girl out. The idea of just letting this man go & him possibly doing this over and over again just terrifies me. People like them are mentally ill and in need of help. I am so glad the girl is fine. You did a great job!!

I’m guessing it’s time to use Grab’s latest advertisement tagline for him: Be Like Yang. Go viral, but help out too.
