Women filmed pouring bleach over commuters 'man spreading' on public transport

A 20-year-old woman has taken action against men who sit with their legs spread wide open on trains and buses.

Anna Dovgalyuk, 20, has been filmed pouring diluted bleach on the crotches of unsuspecting men she has accused of 'manspreading' on the St. Petersburg metro.

'Manspreading' is the practice of men spreading their legs too widely whilst sitting on public transport and taking up room belonging to the seats either side of him.

Russian student Anna has labelled the practice 'gender aggression' and a "disgusting act" so decided to take matters into her own hands.
