Overview

• The incident occurred on a Maruti Fast Boat from Penida to Sanur when an Australian mother asked the solo traveller to move so her family could sit together.
• After the traveller declined due to no other available seats, the mother and teen daughter launched into a verbal tirade and the daughter allegedly struck her and broke her sunglasses.
• Footage shows the teenager grabbing at the traveller’s phone and threatening to punch her again while the mother blamed the traveller for provoking the dispute.
• Ferry staff intervened to separate the parties by relocating the Australian family upstairs and attempted to calm the situation.
• The family departed quickly after disembarking, preventing the traveller from filing a police report, and she is now consulting legal counsel.
