A new video has emerged of a woman who became a topic of discussion for harassing male employees by entering workplaces in various districts of Istanbul and was placed under observation at a hospital by court order. The suspect, who attempted to harass a shopkeeper, also tried to attack the man's wife who intervened.
The latest incident involving the woman known in the public as a 'serial harasser', recognized for her disturbing behavior towards shopkeepers in Istanbul, was captured second by second on camera.
In the footage, the woman, who attempted to harass a man, faced intervention from the man's wife, who reacted and stepped in. Upon encountering the man's wife, instead of backing off, the woman became more aggressive, directly charging at and attempting to attack the wife. Unable to control his nerves in the face of this assault attempt and ongoing harassment, the man physically intervened to protect his wife and drive away the harasser.

The suspect's harassment actions first erupted at a repair shop in Ümraniye. The woman, who entered the workshop under the pretext of selling a product and spoke with a male employee, was later seen attempting to kiss him. After this incident trended on social media, similar complaints followed successively in the İkitelli, Bayrampaşa, and Avcılar districts.
According to security camera footage, the woman entered a business in İkitelli, insulted a male employee who tried to keep his distance, and left the shop. In Bayrampaşa, the suspect entered a warehouse and made physical contact with a male employee, while in Avcılar, she was found to have entered businesses under the pretext of being a student selling cologne and harassed employees.
