Moment Furious Chinese Man Tears Into Government Building With Excavator

Chunks of the entrance canopy fall as a yellow excavator repeatedly drives its bucket into the building. Bystanders' phone footage, compiled by the New York Post, captures the destruction from several positions around the plaza.

The incident took place at the Fengdong New City Government Service Centre in China on November 9. According to the report, staff and visitors were evacuated, police detained the driver at the scene, and no injuries were reported.

Local media reported that the man was upset over the compensation offered for the demolition of his livestock farm. That is the explanation presented in the video, which otherwise consists largely of footage of the machine striking the entrance while onlookers and officials gather outside.

The upload drew roughly 380,000 views in its first twelve hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos.

Later angles reveal damage beyond the glass facade: broken concrete stairs, tracks across the entrance plaza, and a canopy reduced to twisted metal and debris.
