The woman, identified as Dayana Rosas, stated that the incident occurred on a bus traveling to Ixtapaluca on Friday, June 19, 2026.

“

In that moment, my biggest fear was his reaction to my boundaries, that it would escalate and I wouldn't be able to reach my destination.

In the video circulating online, Rosas can be seen sitting behind the driver when a man, who had sat next to her despite available seats, allegedly moved his hand towards her legs. Rosas recounted that she repeatedly asked the man to remove his hand, but he ignored her requests. "They always prepare us for this with words, but in the moment, it's always more complicated," she stated, noting that she had experienced similar aggressions before and took precautions.

Adding to the distress, reports indicate that a municipal police officer was present on the bus but did not intervene. This alleged indifference has drawn sharp criticism from social media users who are outraged by the lack of action. Rosas expressed her fear that the situation could escalate and that she might not reach her destination safely.

Rosas stated her motivation for coming forward is to prevent the man from harassing other women and girls. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about safety and the response to harassment on public transportation in Mexico.

I don't want him to keep doing this to more women, to more girls.
