A man wielding a knife was filmed attacking a woman with in broad daylight, at a busy roadside in Datong City, Shanxi province, northern China.

The video which has since gone viral shows the man brazenly trying to stab the woman several times with a large knife as she lay on the road fighting him off.

The man kept attempting to cut the woman as she screamed for help. Some passersby just stood by and kept watching including the disgusting person who filmed the video.

A brave man who spotted them from the other side of the road rushed over to her rescue and overpowered the frenzied street slasher from behind. Several male passersbys who were closer then joined to beat and tie him up.

He has reportedly been handed over to the local police.
