This is the moment a sexist Japanese man forcibly licks a woman’s face and then says to the camera “she’s just a woman”.

The incident took place in the ward of Shinjuku in the eastern Japanese capital Tokyo and two short clips were filmed by the victim’s friend.

The female victim, identified on social media as ‘Oishiiwakenai’, then posted the clips on Twitter where they have gone viral. The first video, showing the licking incident, has been viewed 2.4 million times while the man’s arrest has been seen by 935,000 netizens.

In the first clip, the stocky man is seen repeatedly licking the screaming woman’s face on a busy pavement.

Several onlookers are heard laughing as the shrieking victim drops to the ground to escape the man’s tight hold.

He then high-fives an onlooker and says: “In the end, she’s just a woman.”

The victim kicks out at the man, and he turns to the camera and says: “In the end, this is all women who act cool for being part of a sub-culture really are.”

The second video shows the suspect being wrestled to the ground by several arresting cops.

‘Oishiiwakenai’ claimed on Twitter that the man “did many other things to me”, adding that the “video starts in the middle”.

There have been no further updates on whether the offender has been charged by the authorities.

Netizens’ comments included: “How disgusting”, “This should count as attempted rape” and “watching this sends a chill down my spine”.
