Pakistani actor Zara Noor Abbas has expressed anger over the harassment of a woman in the North Karachi area of the metropolis last week.

The 33-year-old actress, taking to her Instagram story, shared the video of the incident which showed a man riding a motorcycle with a child on a street and harassing a woman whose face and head were covered in a hijab (head wrap).

The incident occurred on a Karachi street in broad daylight, in front of a child.

She accompanied the post with a caption to express her fury at the incident.

In the caption, she wrote: "Raising another generation of harassers while they are on the bike. Children are puppets. They do what they see. And this man on the bike is leading by example here for the child.”
