A notorious bottom pincher in Papua New Guinea's Bougainville region has been beaten up by a group of women after he pinched one of their posteriors.
The thrashing and a brief brawl came in the capital Buka when Joe Sohia pinched an unnamed woman's buttocks.
The woman and her friends took umbrage and retaliated by swinging their bags at him.
They then set upon him with a flurry of punches that knocked him to the ground.
PNG's Post Courier newspaper reported "the man started throwing wild punches at the woman who did not give up but kept punching back".
A local bus driver who witnessed the incident said it was a short fight drawing a large audience before police broke it up.
"Men who harass women in public places should be expecting that kind of beating from women," he said.
"The man who was floored had a very bad habit of pinching women's buttocks in public," he added.
Police took the women in for questioning.
