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).
