Man Brutally Beats His Wife In Public...With Their Daughter Witnessing The Cruel Act

#1 A man was caught on camera beating his wife in front of their crying daughter on the sidewalk.

The man, who is reported to be the woman's husband, accused her of cheating on him, the People's Daily Online reports. The child is believed to be the couple's daughter.

#2 The not-so-domestic violence happened on the streets of Chengdu, China.

The incident is thought to have taken place in Chengdu, south-west China's Sichuan Province, on April 22.

#3 Passersby tried to stop the man but none of them was able to do anything against his rage.

#4 According to reports, the 45-second clip was first uploaded to Chinese social media Weibo by user 'Qing qing he bian cao' on April 23.

After being uploaded online, the video garnered negative reactions, mostly condemning the husband's action, with one saying, "Right in front of his child's eyes, this man is a monster."

#5 Another commented,

"I'm happy to see that there were still so many people who tried to step in. I'm impressed by the people of Chengdu"

"I'm not saying this man beating his wife is trash. I'm saying that every man who beats his wife is trash," commented another Weibo user.

#6 On Weibo, one user wrote:

'How can he beat her like this with only the suspicion of [being unfaithful]? What if it turns out to be a misunderstanding? The woman should divorce the man directly.'

While another wrote: 'I want to praise those passers-by especially the first lady who intervened.'

#7 However web users on News163.com seemed to think that the woman deserved the beating.

One internet user wrote: 'This kind of woman should be beaten. As a man, I support you. But don't do it in front of the child. It won't be good for her future.'

#8 Meanwhile, it is unknown whether the man will be punished for his actions.

According to the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF), about 25% of Chinese women are victims of violence during marriage, though only 40,000 to 50,000 complaints are registered each year. Shockingly, a study in 2013 found that 50% of Chinese men admit to abusing their partners.
