**Mumbai:** A 33-year-old motorcyclist, Shahen Alam Sheikh, was arrested in south Mumbai after he allegedly attacked a woman pedestrian with his helmet following a road rage incident. The incident occurred on Saturday night when Sheikh hit the woman’s leg while riding his motorcycle on Nizam Street under the JJ flyover.

After the woman reprimanded him, Sheikh reportedly started verbally abusing her, pushed her to the ground, and struck her on the head with his helmet. This enraged bystanders who gathered at the spot and beat up Sheikh, who attempted to flee claiming he was a police officer.

Local police intervened and rescued Sheikh from the mob before taking him to a nearby hospital. His motorcycle was damaged in the attack.

A case has been registered against Sheikh under sections 118 (voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means), 79 (acts intended to insult a woman’s modesty), and other relevant provisions of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) based on the woman’s complaint.

Sheikh was initially arrested but later released after being served a notice.
