The Malay Mail newspaper published a video of the destruction of parts of a government building in China, showing a 47-year-old man using an excavator to demolish parts of the government service center of Fengdong New City in Shaanxi Province, located in northwest China, on Monday, November 9.
According to the report, the man, identified only by the last name "Ho", destroyed the building's entrance steps, signs and exterior structures with an excavator. This action lasted close to an hour and damaged at least six parts of the complex.
During this incident, employees and visitors evacuated the building and no one was injured.
Chinese media reported, citing a local government official, that a dispute over compensation for a destroyed farm may have been the motive for the move. However, police have yet to officially confirm the man's motive.
The police arrested this person at the scene of the incident and a criminal investigation was opened against him. The activity of the government service center also returned to its course after the event.
