"One of the reasons women don't like going out anymore."
Viral footage captured a man groping and harassing a clubber in London.
It is believed the perpetrator is of South Asian heritage and unconfirmed reports have stated that the incident happened in London, however, there is no mention of what nightclub it took place in.
The clip showed the woman dancing when the man, dressed in a hoodie, appeared behind her and tried to put his arm around her.
She quickly pushed his hand away and her face turned to terror as the harasser continued.
He smiled as he put his hands on her waist and appeared to press himself against her.
The scared woman appeared to say something to the person filming, supposedly requesting help.
The man eventually realised he was being filmed and quickly turned his head away to avoid his face being on camera, however, it was too late.
As the camera continued to follow him, the harasser attempted to hide his face.
The woman then ducked down, leaving the man nowhere to hide.
He then appeared to act as though he wasn’t doing anything wrong, moving away from the woman and dancing before putting his hand in front of the camera.
The chilling footage has received millions of views and was shared on social media.
