The incident was filmed in the city of Lviv in the western Ukrainian region of Lviv Oblast and the footage was shared on YouTube where it has been viewed over 307,000 times.

In the dash-cam footage, the 25-year old drunk man is seen walking on the zebra crossing as a woman holding a dog approaches from the other side of the road.

As their paths cross, the suspect belts the 53-year-old woman across the face and she drops to the ground with a thud as her dog walks off.

Meanwhile, a passerby runs over to help the dazed woman.

According to local media, residents followed the aggressor and took him to a nearby police station where he was deemed to be drunk and unable to explain his actions on the zebra crossing.

The authorities found out the same day that there was another 58-year-old woman who was also allegedly assaulted by the man.

Both female victims required medical assistance after the reported attacks.

The 25-year old suspect, who hails from the city of Zhydachiv in the same Ukrainian region, has been charged with hooliganism and faces up to a year in prison if found guilty.

The pre-trial investigation continues.
