🇪🇬Egyptian 'Harasser' Stripped by Crowd.

An Egyptian minibus driver who was stripped to his underwear after being accused of sexual harassment may himself have been the victim of a scam, Egyptian prosecutors say. Initial reports suggested the unnamed man had tried to harass or kidnap a lone woman onboard his vehicle. A crowd intervened and forced him to stand on top of the bus in his underwear. He was arrested by police.

Images of the incident have spread on Egyptian social media. However, police have since released the driver and arrested a man on suspicion of inciting the crowd as part of an attempted robbery. The alleged harassment victim, who left the scene during the commotion, has not been located.

It follows several high-profile incidents of sexual harassment in the country in recent months. Activists say that women who experience verbal or physical abuse are often ignored or victim-shamed.
