Woman drives away with security guard on car bonnet after heated argument
A female driver was arrested after being seen on camera allegedly trying to run over a security guard and then driving away with him on the bonnet of her pink Mercedes in China. The unnamed woman was reportedly annoyed that she had to wait for a few minutes for the guard to open the gate of a community in Taian, Shandong province in east China, at around 1:20 pm on August 6. CCTV footage shows her sitting behind the wheel of a pink Mercedes repeatedly honking the horn in front of the gate. After around a minute, a security guard appeared. He gestured to the driver to stop honking and signaled to pause but the woman kept honking until he fully opened the gate. At that point, the two began arguing with each other. The security guard can be heard saying (in Chinese): 'Alright, go ahead, but don't come in again.' At this point, the driver suddenly reversed, hitting the security guard with the car's rear end. The security guard approached the driver's window to argue, then positioned himself in front of the car to block its path, asking: 'Why did you hit me?' But the woman continued to drive forwards against the security guard. Onlookers could be heard yelling in the background: 'Stay calm, stay calm!' The security guard was then pushed over the bonnet as the vehicle continues to drive. The guard reportedly suffered several injuries from the incident. Police later arrested the woman who was accused of picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Some neighbours later told local media that the incident happened on the south side of the residential area which typically remains locked. They added that motorists who want to enter are usually only let through in emergency cases and they need to call security to be allowed inside. The case is under further investigation.
