According to Chinese media such as China Dotcom and Global Times, an elderly woman demanded a young man yield 'Consideration Seat' at around 9 a.m. on the 27th at a car on subway line 1 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
In response, the man said "I'm in trouble because I have a lot of luggage," but the old man said "I have a handbook for the disabled" and asked me to give up my seat again.
In fact, witnesses said the elderly man appeared to have foot problems.
When the man refused again, the old man hit the man several times with a small umbrella he had.
Then "You don't have an adult at home?" he screamed.
The two eventually got into a physical fight, and the commotion finally calmed down as passengers around them stopped them.
The man did not give up his seat at the end, and the old man immediately got off at the next station.
When the video was released, reactions were mixed online.
Netizens are asking "You're a disabled person, do you think the old man is asking for a seat?", "Is there a need to even have a physical fight?" He criticizes men, saying, `You don't have to yield to me when I say it in an angry voice", "Bashing with an umbrella is a crime of assault.""A man may also be unwell." Posted comments in support of others.
Meanwhile, Hangzhou Metro, the operator of the subway, said in this regard that "Consideration seats are not limited to the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, and that "give way to those who need it.""If you need a seat for consideration, you can ask the staff to guide you"
