Woman beats boss with a mop in China: A Chinese woman, reportedly working in a government official in the northeastern part of the country, has become an internet sensation after a video emerged of her beating her boss with a mop.

The said woman claims that her boss was sending her lewd texts and even went on to accuse him of harassing multiple women at the workplace. The 14-minute video also recorded her throwing books at him and tossing water into his face.

The woman employee, identified as Zhou (her surname), can be seen using a mop to beat her male boss, identified as Wang, for sending her unwanted and obscene messages. Further accusing him of sending such texts to multiple women in the office, she says she’s reported him to the police.

As he is being beaten up, Wang can be seen hiding his face behind and attempts to apologise saying that he had sent those messages as a joke.

According to a report by South China Morning Post, Wang, who worked as the deputy director of a government poverty alleviation agency, was fired after an internal investigation learned of his “life discipline problems.”

Suihua Police said they received a sexual harassment report from Zhou four days ago and they are still investigating. Officials from the district’s publicity department told state-run Xinhua News Agency the woman had violated the law but she did not face any punishment for her actions.
