The 25-year-old man, who was caught on camera punching a woman in the face in Paris, has reportedly been sentenced to six months in prison for "aggravated violence," according to reports.
The man reportedly received an additional six-month suspended jail term and was also ordered to pay $2,300 in damages for attacking the 22-year-old woman Marie Laguerre. The incident came to light after a video of the man punching the woman went viral. Reports state that the man, identified as Firas M., punched Laguerre in the face after she objected to him wolf whistling.
The man was subsequently arrested in August and was ordered by a Paris court to take a course in gender-related violence, according to ABC News.
