An elderly man sparked outrage on a subway in northern China by forcibly demanding a seat from a girl.

The shocking video was filmed in Beijing on June 24.

A 65-year-old man suddenly requested a girl to vacate her seat. However, the girl appeared unwilling to give up her seat and refused the man's request.

The elderly man then became visibly agitated after being refused, grabbing his cane and pulling at the woman's legs. Despite her attempts to evade his harassment, the man persisted, even pushing her more aggressively.

Subway staff and fellow passengers intervened promptly to defuse the sudden conflict.

Despite efforts to calm him down, the elderly man's emotions remained heightened, with provocative statements like "You should call the police" being uttered.

With the assistance of subway staff and intervention from bystanders, the conflict was eventually resolved.

Following the incident, Beijing authorities swiftly launched an investigation and administratively detained the elderly man under the law.

Many online commentators expressed anger and dissatisfaction towards the elderly man's actions, deeming them overly aggressive and inappropriate, and a serious violation of the woman's rights.

据悉，一位65岁的老人，突然向一位年轻女子提出让座的要求。然而，这位女子似乎并不想让座，她拒绝了老人的请求。

这本应是一个普通的让座请求，但接下来的发展却出乎所有人的意料。老人被拒绝后，情绪突然激动起来，他拿起手中的拐杖，开始扒拉女子的双腿。女子试图躲避老人的骚扰，但老人并未停止他的行为，反而更加激烈地推搡女子。这时，地铁工作人员和其他乘客纷纷上前劝解，试图平息这场突如其来的冲突。

然而，老人的情绪并未平复下来，他甚至说出“你去报案啊”等挑衅性言语。

在众人的劝解和地铁工作人员的协助下，这场冲突最终得以平息。

事发后，北京警方迅速介入调查，并依法对涉事老人进行了行政拘留。

许多网友也纷纷表示对老人的行为感到愤怒和不满。他们认为老人的行为过于激烈和不恰当，严重侵犯了女子的权益。在公共场合应该尊重他人的选择和权益。
