Asking for a pretty girl’s number or Facebook on the street has become a pretty common move for guys these days. Many even treat it like a basic challenge to kick off their flirting game. Usually, whether they get a yes or no, most guys stay polite about it. But sometimes, what seems like a simple request can turn into a full-blown drama, like in the story below.

Recently, the internet buzzed over a video from a Shanghai subway station showing a young man trying hard to get the Weibo contact of a girl sitting nearby. At first, the girl politely declined and looked uncomfortable, which would normally end the story.

Not giving up, he tried again after returning to his seat, but got the same cold response. That’s when things took a wild turn. The girl stayed silent and showed a firm attitude, probably hoping to end the situation. But as the train stopped at the next station, the guy suddenly slapped her hard across the face and ran off the train. This shocking move stunned not only the girl but also the nearby passengers who didn’t have time to react.

The incident was quickly reported to the police, and the man was arrested shortly after. According to reports, he admitted that he wanted the girl’s WeChat because she was attractive, but after being flatly rejected in public, he felt embarrassed and took revenge in this cruel way. Shockingly, the man is married with children but still regularly tries to get numbers and flirt with pretty girls in public.
