2nd kings 2:

23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

So basically, "little children" from the city called him "bald head" and god sent 2 she bears out of the woods to slaughter 42 children.

Now that's a god I like.

> a stupid bald c** and threatened to deck me

The "harassment" part makes sense at least.

> and it related to the claimant’s sex

I'd have assumed "sexual" meant relating to sex (intercourse), rather than relating to sexes (male/female).

I think the relevant act would be: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/section/26

Another way to view it, from the observations relayed, is that somebody was called "bald head" and they replied with a curse. Coincidentally, 42 children couldn't escape two rather quick bears. Correlation does not imply causation, right? :^)
