'Hell knows no fury as a woman scorned',is an apt saying that captures the reaction of a livid wife who busted her husband in traffic with his alleged mistress
Adalia and her husband Briez in happier times
The dramatic footage captures the moment a furious wife brought traffic to a standstill in a busy Colombian street after allegedly discovering her husband with a woman alleged to be his mistress.
The angry brunette, identified locally as Adalia Brinez, blocked Luis Alberto Diaz’s path after spotting him driving her car with his alleged lover.
She started to turn heads by shouting out: “Get that tramp out of the car, Luis" and banging her fists repeatedly on the bonnet as she made it clear the vehicle was hers.
The scene in no time became crowded and as onlookerslent their support with cries of: "Yes, get that dog out."
One local even handed Adalia a drawing pin and urged her to smash the windscreen with it although she wisely opted against taking his advice and laid it on the bonnet after hitting the glass with a smaller stick.
Police took nearly five minutes to turn up and by that time the street in the central city of Ibague had became a cacophony of blaring horns and shouting.
Officers seemed unsure what to do at first and simply looked on like the rest of the people gathered round as Adalia continued to vent her rage.
Seeing that most of the onlookers were on her side, the embarrassed husband asked officers to escort the alleged mistress, named locally as Daniela Murcia, from the car in an attempt to defuse the volatile situation.
She was subjected to a volley of abuse - and a failed attempt by Adalia to pull her hair - as she was led away looking incredibly uncomfortable.
