Woman shares selfie after being ‘punched in face for telling man to stop groping her’: Describing the incident at the celebrations on Monday, Ms. Brandon said: A man in the crowd grabbed my arse. When I told him not to he did it again. I pushed him away, exercising my right to tell a man to stop touching my body without my permission, so he took a swing at me and punched me in the face. ... “I am so angry that these men take space and freedoms away from us to feed their own pathetic egos. Keep standing up for yourself, you did an amazing job [said one Facebook user]. Ms. Brandon said some of her friends had suggested it might be best not to do anything at all when presented with a similar situation. ... But she said anyone who thinks it is OK to treat women like this should stay away from the carnival in future, adding: I can honestly say I will always stand up to someone who thinks they can get away with this behaviour. I’d take a punch again from this loser or any other loser who thinks it’s OK to treat women like this. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/notting-hill-carnival-selfie-goes-viral-after-woman-punched-in-face-for-telling-man-to-stop-groping-her-9693514.html
