A video showing a man being put in a headlock and punched in Mount Pleasant is making the rounds on Facebook.

Ray Hsu, a Vancouver poet and University of B.C. professor, shared the video on his Facebook profile Thursday around 2:30 p.m. The video, which was taken by a witness in a car nearby, shows Hsu being held by another man in a headlock before being swung around and punched at least once while standing on the sidewalk.

“Content warning: me getting punched a few times in the head by a stranger at Main and King Edward this afternoon,” Hsu wrote in the caption to the video, which has been viewed nearly 4,500 times in five hours and shared more than 100 times.

According to Hsu’s account of the event, the man allegedly pushed Hsu while getting off a bus. It’s unclear whether Hsu was on the sidewalk or on the bus when the confrontation began.

“I snapped a photo of him just in case, he knocked the phone out of my hand, punched me in the face, I fell down, got up, he punched me in the face a few more times,” Hsu wrote in a follow-up comment explaining his side of the exchange.
