China woman shocked when elderly man she helps carry bags across busy road slaps her face
Force of blow sends woman’s glasses flying, police track down elderly assailant, instruct him to apologise
A Good Samaritan in China who got out of her car to help an old man crossing a busy road was shocked when her kind deed was greeted with a literal slap in the face.
The incident, captured on a viral video, has trended on mainland social media after the clip, filmed by a car driver who was in the vehicle behind the woman, was widely circulated online, Elephant News reported.
The old man, who was about 70 to 80 years old, was carrying two heavy bags and stumbling while walking across the road in Lanzhou, northwestern Gansu province, at dusk on September 12.
He was not on a zebra crossing, so several cars did not give way to him but instead passed close to him, making his walk more difficult.
While the old man was in the middle of the road, the woman left the front passenger seat of the car she was in and jogged towards him.
She used her left arm to support him while her right arm waved traffic past.
However, she was stunned when the old man turned around and slapped her face.
The blow was so hard it made her glasses fly off.
