Another passenger recorded the situation. They reproach him for not having acted to defend the woman from the attack.
News Antioch.
Total repudiation has caused in the city of Medellin the case of a passenger who was the victim of a stalker in the Medellin Metro.
The man was behind another user of the service. Suddenly, the subject lowers the zipper of his pants and takes out his virile member and rubs it against the back of the female’s body, who apparently does not realize what happened.
Otherwise, it happens with another passenger who realizes what the user is doing and decides to record every moment.
Again and again the individual swings to manage to touch the woman’s pants. She apparently doesn’t feel the touch.

Recommendations to passengers
For these types of cases, the Medellín Metro has emergency and alarm mechanisms that passengers can use as a defense so as not to be victims of unscrupulous people.
One of them is some “Red Buttons” located on the walls of the wagons, in strategic sectors, so that a user of the service who is at risk can notify the operators of the mass transport of Medellín.
