A woman in Hong Kong has been arrested after making her boyfriend kneel in the street while she slapped him in the face, allegedly because he had been unfaithful.

The incident, caught on camera by a passer-by, shows the woman Cheng accusing a man Chui of bringing another woman back to his flat.

During the five-minute video, which has since gone viral, Cheng repeatedly asks: "Why did you tell her to go to your apartment?"

Apparently pleading for mercy, Chui replies: "Listen to me first before beating me! I told her not to come!"

A second girl is watching on, and at one stage says to Cheng: "Don’t beat him"

But her the furious tirade continues, with Cheng grabbing Chui by the hair and slapping him repeatedly across the face as shoppers walk by.

A crowd eventually gather around the incident, which happened in a Kowloon City street, and someone called the police.

A spokesman for Hong Kong police told the South China Morning Post: "Police received a report at around 5.10pm on October 4 outside 38 San Ma Tau Street in Kowloon City. Police who arrived at the scene arrested a female, aged 20 and surnamed Cheng, for common assault.

"A victim, aged 23 and surnamed Chui, was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for treatment."

The spokesman added that the case, which was a "dispute over love affairs", had been handed to CID.
