Fad of attacking a victim to record the assault
Happy slapping was a fad originating in the United Kingdom around 2005, in which one or more people attack a victim for the purpose of recording the assault (commonly with a camera phone or a smartphone). Though the term usually refers to relatively minor acts of violence such as hitting or slapping the victim, more serious crimes such as the murder of a retired care worker,[1] and sexual assault were also occasionally classified as "happy slapping" by the BBC.[2]
