The result is shocking video footage showing a man in China beating his wife to death while viewers stand by and do nothing.
The brutal attack came after the couple reportedly fought when they accidentally hit a pedestrian while riding a scooter in Shuozhou City.
In the footage, the man can be seen “beating” his wife with a wooden stool before reportedly beating her with a stone.
The alleged attacker was quickly arrested by local police officers who later confirmed that the woman had died from her injuries.
“The suspect is in custody … and the case is being fully investigated,” police said.

Images of the attack first appeared on social media and national news outlets on Sunday and have been shared millions of times since then.
The footage shows cyclists, motorists, and pedestrians, including children, watching the attack, but no one steps in to help the helpless victim.
Media coverage of the incident drew tens of thousands of comments from around the world, with most criticizing the inaction of bystanders.
“He’s not holding a machine gun, why didn’t anyone come forward to check him?” Asked one commentator in a widely used response.
Another viewer condemned, “(They) were just watching it happen. What a bunch of cold blooded and selfish people! ”
One pointed out, “At least 4 people stand around while this man beats his wife. Lots of people watched and filmed … but nobody stopped him. ”
Another wrote: “This is absolutely insane. I’m so sorry for the victim. I wish I was there to stop the man. ”
China only introduced a specific law in 2015 that criminalizes domestic violence. However, activists say family violence is often ignored.
At the time the law was passed, the government-led All-China Women’s Federation estimated that approximately one in four women had experienced violence during their marriage.
The outrage sparked by the attack is reminiscent of an incident, also captured on video, in 2011 when a toddler in Foshan City was hit twice by a vehicle and ignored by dozens of passers-by.
Social media users pointed out that there is a widespread perception in China that someone stepping in to help could be responsible for hospital bills or involved in fraud, which is preventing people from intervening.
China passed a “Good Samaritan” law in 2017, which aims to resolve the problem by removing civil liability for those who assist victims of violence or accident.
