Woman smashes cheating husband's £200,000 BMW for 20 minutes

Video of a woman smashing a BMW worth hundreds of thousands of pounds while shocked bystanders watched on has recently emerged in China.

The woman, who remains unidentified, claimed that her husband had been inside the car with his mistress and therefore made it 'dirty', reported People's Daily Online.

She spent 20 minutes smashing up the car in Shenzhen, southern China, with a hammer while a witness filmed the carnage. According to reports, the incident took place around 6pm local time on October 19. A woman started taking a hammer to a black BMW 740, which is estimated to be worth about 2 million Yuan (£200,000).

It is thought the car was in a parking facility outside the husband's work place. Witnesses claim that when a security guard tried to stop the woman from destroying the car, she was heard saying: 'This is my car, it's none of your business.'

She continued her tirade: 'This car is too dirty, a car that's used by a whore is too dirty.' At one point, she was even reported saying: 'Who's going to open the bonnet for me? I want to smash the inside.' 

In the video footage taken by a witness, the woman was seen methodically smashing the car from the windscreen to the side of the car with a hammer. Dents appeared all over the bodywork and several windows and lights were smashed. 

Several people stood by and watched as the alarm on the car sounded. The woman even cut her hand on the glass but continued her assault. The destruction went on for some 20 minutes before she eventually left the scene.

Her husband, described as a businessman, reportedly said: 'Let her smash it. I can just get it repaired.' It is thought he recently started living with his mistress, which led to his wife's behaviour. Footage of the incident later appeared online where it became a trending topic on Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter.

Many Chinese web users commented that if the woman didn't want the car, she could give it to them. 

Police was notified of the incident but it's not clear whether the woman will be charged.
