The video shows one girl walking up to him with her phone recording the interaction, while another filmed the encounter.

Challenging him on why he took the pictures, the man began denying it until they asked him to delete the pictures.

She said: “Excuse me, I’d really appreciate it if you deleted the photos of us off your phone.”

He gave in and said he would delete them before putting his phone down, but this wasn’t good enough and the girls demanded he deleted them in front of them.

Another then said: “No, delete them right in front of our face.”

He eventually deleted the pictures, and the girls tried getting him to delete them off his recently deleted folder too, which he reluctantly did.

He then asked the girls to stop watching over him, telling them they were “intimidating”, which they explained that they only wanted to make sure they were definitely deleted.

There was also a video that one girl pointed out, which he told them was another picture and deleted it too.

The girls were praised for their bravery, with one user saying: “You guys did the best thing, you’re so brave.”

Another added: “He’s probably scared because he has a lot of pictures [of] other girls as well.”
