A video of a woman being attacked by a group of people for not wearing a bra has gone viral. The clip, shared and taken by the victim, shows the mob accosting her, and one suspect strikes her.
A woman wearing no bra was attacked by a woman who was upset that she wasn't wearing one. I recorded her actions against me. The scariest thing that has ever happened to me is when a white mob chases me. I would like to ask that you please be safe out there.
