En route to a local mosque, an Iranian cleric saw a woman he believed was inappropriately dressed, so he warned her to cover up. "You, cover your eyes," she replied, instead putting her dukes up and giving him a shove. "I fell on my back on the floor,” the cleric said, according to a state news report obtained by Bloomberg. “I don’t know what happened after that, all I could feel was the kicks of this woman who was insulting me and attacking me." He was hospitalized for three days, but he says "commanding right and forbidding wrong" is a religious obligation and he'd do it again. He does call the incident "the worst day of my life."
