In China a father revealed his anger with his son in a particularly destructive fashion. The man rammed his 2796 Mercedes saloon into his son’s 1233 BMW sportscar at a busy junction in the city of Ma'anshan, which is in Anhui Province. The incident was captured on CCTV and as the son attempted to drive away, the father rammed the Mercedes again into the BMW. The son then jumped out of his car and ran away, with the father also abandoning the now-wrecked Mercedes as he pursued his son on foot. The two damaged cars were left blocking traffic in the middle of a busy intersection. The reason for the father’s anger at his son that culminated in the incident has not been revealed.

    Traffic on an eight-lane road through one of Seoul’s wealthiest districts was disrupted for half an hour by two men sitting in chairs in the middle of the road. It wasn’t a political protest but reportedly a dare agreed by the men, in their 20s, to see who could last the longest sitting in the road, the fashionable Gangnam Avenue. The two men were sitting in the road for half an hour before police arrived to arrest them, Korean media reported. A witness apparently said they didn’t appear afraid of getting h
