Police in Kuwait are searching for a man who smashed a woman’s car after she ignored him on the street.
“The woman was driving her car in Salmiya, the main shopping and restaurant area in Kuwait City, when a young man started following her and attempted to draw her attention, using signs and uttering sweet words. [emphasis is mine]
However, as she ignored him, he became furious and smashed her car several times before driving away from the scene.
The woman, although shocked by the incident, wrote down his car plate number and contacted the police who have launched a manhunt for the suspect.
Police in Kuwait have often to deal with repeated attempts by young men to draw the attention of girls and women, mainly in shopping complexes.”
I wonder what kind of “sweet words” he was uttering. Just as many harassers in the US call women “baby,” “sexy,” and “honey” one minute and then “bitch,” “ugly,” and worse, the next, this harasser changed his tune from sweet to destructive in a matter of minutes. Charming.
And non-harassing men wonder why women are wary or rude when they approach them! It’s because of experiences like this that make us distrusting of all, or at least of many, men we don’t know in public places.
Good for the woman for having the presence of mind to write down his license plate number even though she must have felt quite upset and shocked. Hopefully the police will catch him.
