A young Chinese motorist has suffered multiple bites from a stranger in the street who thought he was his ex-girlfriend’s new feller.

Mr Huang from the city of Hangzhou in the Chinese province of Zhejiang said he was attacked over two months ago, but still bears the scars of the incident.

He said he was leaving his building car park when he encountered a man walking in the middle of the street, adding: “The man suddenly jumped into the passenger seat, grabbed my neck and started biting me.

“I was wearing my seatbelt. I stopped the car and put the gear in neutral, but he bit me hard. I said ‘who are you’ and he ignored me, he just kept biting.”

Mr Huang claimed the whole ordeal lasted around seven or eight minutes and he eventually managed to get out of the car.

While he was about to call the police, the man allegedly grabbed his phone and car keys.

Following a struggle, the victim said he managed to call the police and officers arrived on the scene.

He added that he had to receive a vaccination for the multiple bites and that his attacker never apologised or offered to pay compensation in the weeks since the incident.

Mr Huang also had to postpone his engagement ceremony due to his injuries, mostly on his neck, face and arms.

Police spokesperson Zhou Xiaobo said they interviewed the suspect and he told officers that he thought the victim was his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend coming to pick her up.

The police confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and the suspect’s movements are currently restricted.
