However, the actor has denied attacking the
youth and said he intervened because he saw them harassing an old woman.
A
complaint has been filed against Tamil superstar Suriya in an alleged case of
assault, where he has been accused of attacking a youth who was having an
altercation with a woman.
The
complainant is a first division football player named Premkumar, who claims
that he and his friend were travelling on a bike, when the car in front of them
stopped suddenly, which made them lose control and slam into the rear end of
the car.
The driver of the car, who was a
woman, came out and began scolding them for rash driving, following which some
people also reportedly came in support of the youth.
Surya, who
was driving by, reportedly stopped by and intervened in the altercation which
further heated up the situation and resulted in the actor allegedly slapping
the youth, asking why he was fighting.
The actor
has however denied attacking the boys and has claimed that he saw the boys
manhandling the women, which is when he tried to rescue her and intervened.
Premkumar
has filed a complaint at the Shastri Nagar police station and an FIR is yet to
be registered in the matter.
The actor's
manager has issued a statement saying, "The two youngsters in a bike had
hit an old lady near Adyar and were harassing her when Suriya passed that
location. He stopped his car and intervened, questioning the two youngsters.
Suriya had immediately informed the police about this incident and then left.
He had also left his assistant on the spot to assist the police. But taking
advantage of Suriya's absence, the two youths filed a false complaint against
Suriya."
