The incident took place Thursday afternoon when 27-year-old Selsel was returning from Blue Area after buying a gift for her younger brother. She took a cab and all of a sudden a man got into it. 

He started beating her as she attempted to resist, saying: "Your father is a communist and we will not leave him."
