On November 20, a woman revealed that she had been forced to give up her seat by an elderly man on the Shanghai subway, and after she refused, the old man sat on her lap. Shanghai Metro said it had not received any complaints. The lawyer said that if the elderly did have the behavior of sitting on their thighs, it was suspected of constituting an insult to the woman.

In the video transmitted online, an old man shouted "go away", and a woman said: "Just have a seat, you don't sit yourself." At this time, the old man in the picture pointed to the camera and said loudly: "You also want to be old, you are also going to die, there is no old man in your family?" ”

According to media reports, the woman in question said that on November 18, she was riding the Shanghai Line 12 subway, and the old man stared at her seat and asked her to give up her seat. Because there were still many empty seats on the car at that time, the woman refused to give up her seat, and the old man suddenly attacked, and the rude words also intimidated her. Later, a passenger next to her couldn't really look over and gave up a seat, but the old man suddenly sat on her lap.

The woman said that she was scared silly at the time, but because the old man had been cursing and grinning, she was afraid of being attacked by new people, so she stayed away from him, "in fact, I could sue him for harassment at that time." The Shanghai Metro Supervision Service Hotline said that it had not received any complaints from passengers, and passengers could call the hotline or call the police for help in similar situations.

For the behavior of the elderly, some netizens said: "Call the police! It's so disgusting that it makes you a lover and doesn't let you do your duty. "Virtue is not in high age, and there is no virtue to live a hundred years." Some netizens also said, "The old man wants to sit in the love seat, I don't sit orange on the car, I don't sit empty, I sit green." ”

So, if the old man asks to sit in the love seat, can he shout at the woman and make the act of sitting on the woman's leg? In this regard, Chai Xin, a lawyer at Beijing Dacheng (Wuhan) Law Firm, said that it is not a legal obligation to give up a seat for love, and even if it is necessary to give up a seat, the elderly should also express it well. If, after investigation, it is confirmed that the old man has sat on the other person's lap in order to force the woman to give up her seat, the old man's behavior is suspected of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, which violates the provisions of articles 23 and 26 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law. In order to protect her rights and interests, the woman can call the police and ask the public security organs to detain and fine the elderly in accordance with the law.

Sun Donghua, a lawyer at Hebei Yanfu Law Firm, said that the old man's practice was illegal and suspected of disturbing public order. At the same time, the elderly are also suspected of constituting an insult to the woman, if it is found that there is indeed an act of sitting on the woman's lap, the woman can report to the public security organ and ask her to apologize. According to Article 23 of the Law on Punishment for administration of Public Security, whoever disturbs the order on a bus, tram, train, ship, aircraft or other means of public transportation shall be given a warning or a fine of not more than 200 yuan; if the circumstances are more serious, he shall be detained for not less than 5 days but not more than 10 days, and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan.
