Argument quickly turned violent
In the video, the man and woman can be seen arguing loudly. As tempers rose, the woman allegedly used abusive language. Soon, the man lost control and slapped her several times. The woman did not back down. She slapped him back, continued shouting, and even pulled at his T-shirt during the confrontation.
