Furious Chinese women gang up to take revenge on love cheat in front of television cameras
Man who was accused of scamming large sums of money out of his lovers, who joined forces to set up ambush along with police
A Chinese man who had been dating three women simultaneously had the tables turned when they ganged up on him to confront him about his deception in an incident filmed by a local television station on Tuesday.
During the heated confrontation, which happened in the southern city of Nanning, two policemen and one of the women are shown wrestling the love cheat to the ground as he tries to escape, after getting out of a silver Mercedes-Benz.
The man has been accused of scamming large sums of money out of all three of them and local police said they would “use the fullest extent of the law” to help the women.
A video of the incident, shot by Guangxi Television News, was published by news portal Thepaper.cn on Wednesday.
Three people were injured in the scuffle, according to the news report, which did not provide further details, and more police arrived at the scene soon afterwards.
During the course of what each believed was a serious long-term relationship with the man, the women all lent him large sums equivalent to thousands of US dollars as well as letting him use their expensive sports cars.
The man used different names with his lovers, telling two of them his surname was Fu and the other that it was Li. His real name is still unknown.
His complex ruse slowly unravelled after his mysterious behaviour and constant changes of address aroused one of the girlfriend’s suspicions.
