A furious husband was filmed slapping a doctor at a medical conference in Maryland while hurling insults at the man, accusing him of sexually assaulting his wife in 2016.
The video, which was shot last month at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) annual meeting in Baltimore, shows the man walking up to the podium and slapping him multiple times in the face.
The room’s acoustics and nearby microphone ensure that every word is crystal clear for all to hear, even the crackle of every slap against the man’s face reverberating through the meeting room.
The onlooker, who has not been named, could be seen grabbing the doctor, who was a panelist on the podium, by his shirt before slapping him with his hand.
The assaulted doctor was identified as a gynecologic oncologist physician at Stony Brook University Cancer Center in Long Island, New York, according to WMAR. He was not named as he was not charged with a crime.
At a medical conference in Baltimore, a disturbing incident unfolded when an enraged husband confronted and physically assaulted a doctor on the podium.

The man accused the doctor, left a director of gynecological oncology at Stony Brook University, of sexually assaulting his wife in 2016 during a two-minute tirade.
“This ****** mother sexually assaulted my wife seven years ago,” the viewer announces before slapping the panelist. ‘You know what you did. You touched my wife 7 years ago in New York. Don’t be a *****. B****! ‘, he said, slapping him again.
“This is for all men who sexually assault women,” he continued. ‘Be a fucking dude!’
The audience member is so upset when he makes his accusations that he states that the assault on the doctor panelist is for all men who harm women in this way.
He points out that his wife suffered because of his alleged predatory actions.
A woman shouts: “Security!” – which only further enrages the man.
“You can call security, the police!” I do not care!’

At one point, an off-camera individual can be heard laughing, prompting the audience member to return to the panelists’ table and confront the doctor again.
“I’ve been waiting for this for seven years. Seven years! My wife is hurting because you are a fucking predator,” he says. “And you know what you did! Don’t be f***ing b***h! You touched my wife! This a****** likes to touch women.’
The incident led to a police investigation after officers were called to the conference center to handle the physical assault.
Following the conference, ACOG released a statement apologizing for the incident.

“Security protocols were followed and the situation was quickly dealt with by undercover security and ultimately the Baltimore Police Department. We apologize to those who may have been affected by the incident or subsequent exchanges. ACOG does not condone violence in any form,’ ACOG said in a statement.
He continues: “We recognize that those who witnessed the incident in person or online may have suffered trauma as a result, including many of you who have experienced sexual assault or other violence in the past. .”
The doctor who was assaulted declined to press charges or press charges against the man, preferring instead that the husband be simply escorted off the scene, according to the Baltimore Police Department.
None of the panelists commented on what happened before them.
