A disturbing video circulating online has ignited public outrage, depicting a man brutally assaulting his girlfriend as she cradled an infant. The footage, reportedly captured in Taichung, shows the man becoming enraged and kicking his girlfriend, then grabbing her hair and forcing her onto a bed. The baby in her arms was visibly distressed and cried out during the assault. The incident allegedly occurred after the girlfriend requested more companionship from the man. Authorities reported that the incident took place in November of the previous year, and no official report was filed at the time. The woman has since relocated with her child to a different city and intends to seek assistance from local authorities. The man reportedly issued an apology online, admitting to losing control and expressing regret for involving the child. However, his identity has been the subject of online scrutiny, with accusations of him operating a skewer restaurant in Taichung, leading to a flood of negative comments on the establishment's social media pages, which has since been deactivated. Police confirmed the couple has since separated and the child belongs to the woman.

The yesterday's attack is not directed against the New Democracy party, but against democracy, against every person who believes that differences are resolved through dialogue and not violence.
