incorrect, as reactions occurring through the above mechanism would produce enantiomers
evidence for the intermediate bromonium ion reaction mechanism:
stereospecificity

Single Product Formation:
In some cases, like the bromination of 1-hexene, only one product is formed. This is explained by the stabilization of the bromonium ion, which is then attacked by the bromide ion, resulting in the formation of the observed product, according to the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University
