  • A foreign woman verbally and physically assaulted a public transport guide at Lima's Metropolitano station.
  • The incident occurred at the Ramón Castilla station, where the woman spat on and insulted the guide.
  • A police officer intervened, but the woman continued to insult both the guide and the officer, with users questioning the police response.

An incident involving a foreign woman exhibiting aggressive behavior occurred at the Ramón Castilla station of Lima's Metropolitano public transport system. Video footage circulating on social media shows the woman, displaying a haughty attitude, spitting on and verbally abusing a guide from the ATU (Metropolitan Transit Authority).

The confrontation took place in the user assistance area, where the ATU employee was performing her duties. Several passengers witnessed the scene with confusion as the woman directed a stream of insults at the guide. She was heard saying, "I'm telling you I'm not from here (this country). Stop recording this s***. You're a f***ing b****. Look at your f***ing face. I'm going to f*** you up."

A National Police of Peru (PNP) officer intervened to ask the woman to leave the station. However, she responded by continuing her tirade, directing insults at the officer as well. "And you (police officer), who told you I wasn't going to leave? F*** you. I'm recording you. I'm telling you to wait, because I'm organizing this (my purse). Do you think I'm going to let myself be humiliated by these people?" she shouted at the officer.

Despite the evident aggressive conduct captured on video, some users have questioned the police officer's actions for not detaining the foreign citizen. As of now, neither the Metropolitano nor the ATU have issued a public statement regarding the incident, and no specific measures or additional security actions have been reported.
