A wealthy woman driver in China attacked a former soldier after he refused to let her dangerously reverse into oncoming traffic, requiring him to go to the hospital.

On August 28, a 38-year-old woman, surnamed Wang, attempted to back her car into the opposite lane in Qingdao, Shandong province in eastern China.

After several failed attempts, she rear-ended a bus.

The enraged woman leapt out of her car, blaming the driver – a decommissioned soldier – for not letting her cut in, hurling insults and attacking him with her hands and phone.

A video circulating online shows the driver bleeding from his mouth and nose, but not retaliating.

When a passing driver tried to intervene, Wang turned on him: “So what if I was driving against traffic? I hit you, so you should take responsibility. If you have the courage, call the police.”
