BADUNG, Bali \u2014<\/strong>A late-night incident in Uluwatu has drawn widespread attention after a video showing a local man restraining an intoxicated foreign tourist circulated across social media\u2014prompting both public support and a broader conversation about behavior in Bali\u2019s nightlife areas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man seen in the video has since been identified as Belda<\/strong>, a martial arts trainer and former participant in Indonesia\u2019s Indonesia Mencari Bakat<\/em> (IMB). He says his actions were a response to what he described as repeated harassment by the tourist toward women in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Night That Escalated Quickly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Belda, the incident took place in the early hours of Monday (March 30) outside a nightlife venue in Uluwatu, in Pecatu Village, South Kuta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had just attended an event known as Uluwatu Fight Night<\/em> when he noticed a foreign man behaving aggressively in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tourist, believed to be under the influence of alcohol, was allegedly disturbing people on the street and, more seriously, touching women without consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI ran toward him because I didn\u2019t like what he was doing,\u201d Belda said in a statement shared via social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intervention, Not Escalation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What followed was captured on video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belda is seen applying a controlled chokehold to restrain the man, who appeared unable to resist. Bystanders gathered, watching as the situation unfolded on the roadside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belda later explained that his actions were deliberate and measured, shaped by his background in martial arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know the limits of how far I can restrain someone,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to hurt him\u2014only to stop him and make him understand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that he does not consume alcohol, which he believes allowed him to remain calm and in control during the confrontation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Public Reaction\u2014and a Private Resolution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the incident, the tourist reportedly regained composure and apologized for his behavior. Belda said he accepted the apology, and the man left the scene shortly afterward, though still visibly affected by alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No official police report has been confirmed, and authorities have not released further details regarding the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
