This is the moment a bar customer in northeast China learns to keep his hands to himself when he is battered by a furious worker for groping her backside.

CCTV footage of the beating on 29th December 2022, shows the man slipping his hand behind the bar receptionist to pat her bottom.

But immediately, she hits back, shoving him away and slapping him around the head in the bar in Yingkou, Liaoning Province.

As the tussle continues, she batters the man five times before he shoves her hard down through the bar.

The woman – named as Ms Du in local media – pulls out her mobile phone and calls police as another man tries to snatch it from her hand.

She told local media: “If I don’t fight back when he takes an inch, what will he do next time?”

Police are understood to be investigating the incident.
