Bus passenger harassed and sat on by old man

Two bus passengers are upset after one of them was allegedly harassed and bullied into giving up her seat by an elderly man, who sat on her after she refused his "rudely made" request in Xi'an, Shaanxi province on Saturday.

Net user Gaishishihou told the story of what had happened to her unnamed colleague, saying that an old man on the bus she and her colleague were riding to work had rudely asked her colleague to give him her seat.

But the Net user said that her colleague refused him because he had asked so rudely - after which the man lost his temper and directed foul language at her - and then sat on her lap.

Crying, her colleague finally stood to avoid the uncomfortable body contact with the man.

"We were left feeling morally hijacked, and that makes us feel sad," said the Net user.
