This is the moment a young boy and his sister beat up their dad and his alleged mistress as their mum confronts the pair in a crowded shopping centre.

The incredible footage from Wanda Plaza in the city of Ya’an, in Sichuan Province in south-western China, shows the boy holding back his own dad as the father’s secret lover is attacked by his sibling and mother.

In the video, the mum-of-two can be seen getting a hold of the suspected mistress’s hair and refusing to let go as her she screams at her unfaithful spouse, who had apparently been on a date at the shopping centre.

The husband tries to defend the alleged ‘homewrecker’ and even attempts to lash out at his wife during the embarrassing incident playing out in front of stunned witnesses inside the shopping complex.

But the boy, who has his arms around his dad’s neck, wrestles his parent and pushes him to the floor.

Meanwhile, the older girl – believed to be his sister – helps their mum by repeatedly kicking their dad’s lover in the midriff.

The dad is ultimately neither able to help his girlfriend nor attack his wife because of his son, who holds him back the whole time until security guards arrive to try to break up the fight.

It was unclear at the time of writing whether the police were involved.

Adultery is not a punishable crime in mainland China, leaving wronged spouses no choice but to avenge themselves.
