A transgender person was beaten out of a community by a man earlier this week. The incident was recorded and shared on TikTok by the attacker, who goes by the name of Tooka. Based on the footage, Tooka discovered that a man who was transitioning into a woman was in his neighbourhood and went to confront him. Tooka went with at least two other men to a small board house during the daytime.
The blue blue dwelling was reportedly occupied by the transgender individual and another man at the time. According to what is shown in the video, the trio entered the yard, but Tooka was the only one to enter the house and force the occupants outside. A man was removed first, as he pleaded with the group to allow them to leave peacefully. Moments later, the transgender individual was also forced out.
The transgender individual was pulled outside of the yard, where the attack ensued. The video appears to show Tooka using a stick to strike the individual, primarily targeting his back. While attempting to shield himself, the victim can be heard begging to be allowed to leave, repeatedly stating intentions to go home and avoid further conflict. Despite those pleas, the assault continued.
The individual eventually broke free and ran, but the attacker chased him. Moments later, the victim is caught again and struck several more times while trying to escape again.
At one point, a woman’s voice is heard in the background, urging the attacker to stop. The woman warned him that he could get in trouble for attacking the man and pleaded for the situation not to turn fatal. After some time, Tooka allowed the victim to run off.
The footage has been shared across multiple social media platforms and ignited strong reactions online. Some users condemned the attack, describing it as inhumane and unnecessary. Others questioned why similar outrage is not consistently directed at rapists and murderers.
Some commenters, however, openly supported the actions seen in the video. Several argued that individuals like the victim should not be allowed in society, while others framed the incident as a form of “cleansing” or enforcement of their own moral beliefs.
