A video named "the Tianlin Street Incident" and "the Tianlin Breast Sucking Scandal" has recently gone viral online. The video shows a woman lying in front of a restaurant with her top lifted, exposing her breasts. A man beside her has his arm around her neck and does not help her pull down her clothes. Instead, he licks her. Numerous pedestrians gather around but no one steps forward to help. Netizens have repeatedly called the crowd "too indifferent."
Cause: Men and Women Acting Inappropriately After Drinking. The Incident Occurred in a Noisy Street Area.
Through clues in the video, the reporter arrived at a clothing store at No. 118-3 Tianlin Road. The environment here completely matches what is shown in the video. The reporter saw on-site that the surrounding area of the incident was a commercial street with many restaurants, KTVs, and other entertainment venues.
According to eyewitnesses on the scene, the incident occurred on the afternoon of April 30th. Initially, the two were just sitting on the steps in front of the store, acting somewhat affectionate. Subsequently, it evolved into inappropriate physical contact, drawing many citizens to watch and take photos.
The store manager said that since it was a holiday, the store was very busy at the time, and initially, the staff did not notice the two people. Later, when they noticed the large crowd gathering outside, they reported the incident to the police.
The Xuhui police informed the reporter that after receiving the report, officers from the Hongmei Road police station quickly arrived at the scene and took the two away. At the time, both were heavily intoxicated.
Indifferent passers-by, netizens' curiosity causing the situation to spiral out of control.
After this inappropriate video started circulating widely online, a netizen who claimed to have witnessed the event on-site revealed in a forum post that initially, the two looked like a couple taking a break, with occasional intimacy within normal limits.
However, soon afterward, the man initiated physical contact with the woman. The woman appeared to have lost consciousness, allowing the man to manipulate her as he pleased. Some netizens speculated that the two might have taken drugs.
A netizen mentioned that from seeing the two at the scene until the police took them away, there were dozens of minutes. An employee of a neighboring gift shop told the reporter that many passers-by stopped to watch as the two's actions escalated. More and more people gathered around, and many pulled out their phones to record the scene. If it weren't for the store manager of a nearby clothing store reporting the incident, it's unclear how the situation would have ended.
On the internet, some netizens lamented why, in broad daylight, after discovering the inappropriate behavior of the two individuals, no passer-by promptly approached to inquire or stop them? The reporter found that on Weibo, forums, and other online communities, more netizens were crazily forwarding, making idle jokes, and speculating.
Increased patrols at the scene of the incident, the police are conducting an investigation.
Two days later, this afternoon, the reporter observed at the scene that a city management officer was patrolling back and forth at the location of the incident, with a city management vehicle stationed there.
The reporter also learned that after receiving the report, the police rushed to the scene and took the couple away. During this time, they noticed a strong smell of alcohol on both individuals. They claimed to be a couple, and the police confirmed that they indeed knew each other.
