Women in China viciously hits, slaps and attempts to strip alleged mistress as she lies on the ground crying

A woman in China was viciously assaulted by a group of female assailants who believed she was a mistress of a married man.

According to Shanghaiist, the woman was choked, hit on her back and slapped multiple times as she lay on the ground.

Her assailants also attempted to strip her but failed to do so. 

The woman was wailing and crying as she was being beaten. 

Throughout the ordeal, she was covering her face, possibly to protect it as well as her identity from those recording what was going on.

It is unclear what exactly caused the assailants to go to such extremes. 

Their actions however have also been criticised by netizens. Many of them felt that the husband involved should be shamed as well.
