Chennai Sanitation Worker Fights Off Harasser in Bold Confrontation
In a shocking incident under Chennai’s Adyar flyover on November 10, 2025, a 50-year-old female sanitation worker faced sexual harassment from a 25-year-old motorbike rider during her early-morning shift. The accused, wearing a helmet, allegedly stopped his bike near her and attempted to expose himself while making lewd gestures.
Unfazed, the woman chased him off, striking him repeatedly with her broom in a courageous act of self-defense. The confrontation, captured on a nearby vehicle’s dashboard camera, has gone viral, sparking outrage and renewed calls for better safety measures for women in public spaces.
The Adyar police acted swiftly, arresting the man, identified as a resident of Andhra Pradesh, later that day. A case has been registered under IPC sections for outraging a woman’s modesty and public indecency, with the suspect now in custody.
