Last night (30th May), there was a kind of an altercation between two youngsters and Suriya near Adyar. The news is that the said youngsters in the bike had hit an old lady and there was some kind of commotion in the area when the boys were reportedly harassing the lady. Suriya who was on his way there, got down from the car, intervened in the brawl and sent the lady off. However the young men claimed that Suriya had hit him and had lodged a complaint with the police. They claim innocence. The news has been doing its rounds in TV and in the online world.
However, when we contacted Suriya’s side, his spokesperson reveals that the incident is in fact true but for Suriya hitting the youth. The spokesperson also adds that Suriya was waiting at the spot till the police came. Having seen all this in TV and other media, the lady has apparently come out and described everything to the police. She is reported to have stood by Suriya's side and had mentioned that the actor had only come to help and had not even reacted violently.
