Late-night elevator brawl: a woman's crisis and the decisive counterattack of the security guards
Loading...
In a frightening elevator surveillance video, a man attacked a woman at 3 a.m. on April 5. The woman cleverly sticks her foot out of the elevator door in an attempt to call for help by preventing the elevator door from closing. This trick saved her life, as security arrived at the scene shortly after. The security guard, who was trying to calm the situation, was repeatedly attacked while stopping the man, and the scene got out of control for a while. But then the security guards fought back, leaving the attacker powerless to fight back, and the woman took the opportunity to escape. The incident took place in Guangdong, and after the video was exposed, it attracted widespread attention, with some praising the security guards' quick response and others worrying about whether the security guards' methods were excessive.

Security guards discourage beating security guards
Subdued by security guards
This incident is not just a simple elevator brawl, it touches on a deeper socio-legal issue. Under the Penal Code, the act of a security guard is considered to be justified and he is not held legally responsible. However, the discussion among netizens continued, and some people raised the problem that the security guards might be overly defensive. Legal expert Liu Yan explained this in detail, arguing that the security guard's behavior is necessary in an emergency, especially in a small environment where he cannot easily escape. In addition, the incident has also triggered a discussion of the "unlimited right to defense", that is, in extreme circumstances, the attacker may not be legally liable for death or injury in the course of defense.
Should this incident be an opportunity to reform the law and re-examine how individuals can defend themselves in an emergency?
