Viral Video: Israeli tourist 'pushes' Sri Lankan tour guide into water from boat
A viral video purportedly showing an Israeli tourist pushing his Sri Lankan tour guide into the water from a boat has sparked an online debate and drawn criticism over the alleged act.
In the video, a group of tourists can be seen sitting aboard a boat while their tour guide sips water. Moments later, one of the tourists allegedly pushes the guide into the water.
Several people on the boat can be heard laughing as the tour guide falls into the water.
The video has triggered strong reactions on social media, with several users condemning the alleged behaviour and rejecting suggestions that the incident could be dismissed as a joke.
One social media user criticised the act, writing: “Very bad behaviour. If he do not know swimming he would have drowned. This is an act of murder. Sri Lankan government should arrest the culprit whoever he is, if Srilankan govt value their own citizens and ban the culprit life long to Srilanka.”
It remains unclear from the video what happened to the tour guide after he fell into the water
Turistas israelíes se graban empujando a un trabajador de Sri Lanka al agua. Riendo dicen: 'Fue una broma' y que no 'tenían la intención de ser pesados'. "Nos enlistamos en un mes. Somos buenos chicos. No merecemos este odio". https://t.co/B75c2ntKHr
