Police have registered a case after a streetseller with disabilities was assaulted by a man over four bananas in Maharashtra's Thane district, an official said on Thursday. A video of the incident had gone viral on social media.
In his complaint to Mira-Bhayandar, Vasai-Virar police, Saddam Hussain (29) said he was attacked on May 1 when he was out on the street in Bhayandar to sell bananas.

A video of the incident shows an unidentified man kicking Hussain and viciously pushing him down to the ground. The visual also shows a few passersby rushing to save the differently-abled banana seller.
The man also used abusive language, the complainant told the police, adding that he lost Rs 3,000 in the fight.
