A 35-year-old man was allegedly beaten by four men in South Delhi’s Saket area after he tried to stop them from harassing a woman, police said on Wednesday. The incident took place in the early hours of the morning and has raised concerns over women’s safety and public violence in the city.

According to police, the incident occurred around 4 am when a 27-year-old woman, who works in the private sector, stepped out of her residence to go to work. She was waiting for a cab to pick her up for her morning shift when the incident unfolded.

Police sources said four men, travelling on two scooters, approached the woman and allegedly began eve-teasing her. The men were reportedly under the influence of alcohol at the time. Their behavior made the woman uncomfortable and distressed as she waited alone on the road.
