"...Yet, other passengers said she had a protruding pregnant belly. One passenger even stepped in to protect her from the man just in case he planned to kick her again..."

This scene played out on a crowded subway train. The accused accidentally bumped into a pregnant woman who instinctively put her hands out to stop him from doing it again. Well, he took offence to her doing that to him (he said she hit him) so he hit her. The situation escalated out of control from that moment on.
The mom-to-be, who by-the-way is 9 months pregnant, grabbed onto his collar and held on to him and wouldn't let go! Hold that thought!!! Afterwards, they both fell to the floor together, she landed on top of him. He became outraged at her and kicked her twice for holding onto him. He claims he didn't know she was pregnant. Yet, other passengers said she had a protruding pregnant belly. One passenger even stepped in to protect her from the man just in case (before he kicked her again) he planned to kick her again, a witness named Janice told CeFan Kim an Eyewitness News reporter.
I read some of the comments below this video, one really stood out to me. The commenter suggested that since the lady is about due, she probably lost her balance, just as he hit her hand away, and grabbed the nearest most stable source; which happened to be the man who hit her. This theory sounds good to me.
Warning! I am always on the side of an unborn baby who can't fight for his or herself! So, I in no way will back this man who kicked a woman, especially when she's pregnant. Guess what? The judge who oversaw this case agrees with me.The man, Michael Lee, a 40-years-old has been arrested and is awaiting his bail hearing. If he is convicted, he will be given assault and reckless endangerment charges. (yahoo.com/news)

There you have it, however, I'll not tell you how to think, you decide who's wrong and who's right in this incident.
