In a troubling incident that unfolded in Bengaluru, a man shared a chilling encounter where he was attacked by two individuals on a scooter. Narrating the harrowing experience on the ‘Bangalore’ subreddit, the user identified as @avi1299 shared that he was with his friends in Koramangala, en route to a show around 9:30 p.m. Instead of hopping on any transportation, they opted to walk to the venue. Little did they know, the night was about to take a terrifying turn.
“While casually walking at the intersection of 2nd Cross Road and 17th F Main Road, I felt a tight slap out of nowhere and looked around to understand what on earth had happened,” the OP began. It turned out to be two men on a scooty who zipped past, attempting to play a prank. Initially trying to identify them, he realised they were strangers.

But things didn’t end there. The men didn’t flee after the slap but instead lingered to cause a scene. “The pillion got down, screaming in Kannada, and tried to slap me, but I moved away. We could smell the alcohol off this drunk individual from quite a distance. The man was far gone too,” he recounted, adding, “He was angry because we were ‘staring’ at him and began to ask ‘HOW DARE YOU STARE AT ME!’ in Kannada. This guy snatched my glasses from my face while saying ‘NOW HOW WILL YOU STARE!’. He was also screaming ‘I AM A ONE MAN ARMY! I’LL TAKE ON ALL OF YOU!’.” The man continued to hurl insults and threats at the OP and his companions.
Despite the provocation, the group made a conscious decision not to retaliate. Unsure if the assailants were armed, part of a larger gang, or fearing the consequences of getting into a brawl and involving the authorities, they opted to let it go.

However, once things had settled, the OP recounted how they revisited the scene of the assault to check for any CCTV footage. Despite reaching out to the police, their efforts yielded little, with the officers dismissing the incident, suggesting the attackers might be from the nearby slum.
“I’m not sure what we did wrong here or what we should have ideally done, but I’d just advice everyone else to stay wary and careful, because you never know when your assaulters are speeding 40kmph towards you,” the OP concluded.
