It's 8.15 in the evening and you have boarded a train with your father.
The train is moderately crowded thanks to the home-bound office goers.
And suddenly you feel a touch.
The touch is unwanted and it makes you extremely uncomfortable.
What do you do?
A 15 year old girl from Mumbai, when faced with this situation, brought her sexual predator to his knees, quite literally.
First, she twisted his fingers hard enough to make him scream, then after tackling the man taller than her to the ground, she handed him to the Government Railway Police GRP).
And did we mention she is blind?
According to this Timesnownews report, a molester caught in a local train in Mumbai handed over to the GRP, after a 15 year old visually-impaired girl bravely tackled him.
Turned out, the man was illegally travelling on the compartment reserved for People With Disability, without any ticket.
Speaking to the press, the girl revealed that sexual predators often found her as an easy target because of her disability. Having learned self defense as part of her school curriculum, she can now face similar situations with confidence and strength.
Police also shared that the girl's technique was so perfect that she could have broken the accused’s fingers, had she not loosened her grip.
You go girl!
