    Bernard chases and punches Sonny

    After a girl, probably Carol, yelled that Sonny was peeping, Bernard caught Sonny running away and punched his shoulder. He stopped when Sonny cried and he felt overwhelming remorse. He did not strike Sonny in the face despite a vaguely remembered bystander’s urging.
