A student who ended up with a scraped knee after rejecting a man who promised to treat them well, revealed that justice was served. The Redditor deleted the original post after it received 32,000 upvotes. But wanted to share another post containing an update for those who supported them.
Reddit user u/darkbeat- shared the update in the subreddit r/GirlDinnerDiaries. For context, the Redditor claims to be a college student who met the man who asked her out. When the student said no, it didn’t sit well with the admirer.
The man resorted to pushing the student down, causing a scraped knee, and fleeing the scene. In the update post, the student said the man's family told her he had a mental illness. The Daily Dot could not verify the man's diagnosis or mental health history.
According to the Redditor, the man was caught by campus police after the incident was reported and suspended from college. Shortly after, the Redditor alleged that the man’s family had reached out and requested that they not press charges.
The family also said he was attending anger management therapy and had a difficult childhood. And he had also had a rough childhood. The Redditor did not confirm whether she had filed a formal complaint or whether charges would be pursued.
However, they were grateful for how it all turned out in the end. The user revealed that they were currently a full-time nursing student and a part-time model. They claimed it was why life was tough. But thanked those in the SubReddit community for making them feel validated amid the alleged trauma.
