A tourist was filmed kicking and punching an actor after apparently flying into a rage during a war reenactment.
Footage of the bizarre incident opens with a man dressed as a soldier mock-flogging a woman tied to a tree.
All of a sudden, an onlooker – whose emotions had clearly got the better of him – ran over and struck the actor with a flying kick.

With a furious look on his face, he then threw a right hook at the uniformed performer before staff rushed in and escorted him back into the audience.
As he was led away from the stage, the actor gave him a forceful shove in the back and raised his whip towards him.
The middle-aged spectator lifted his hand as if acknowledging he had gone too far, as reported by Need To Know.
The reenactment then resumed, as other spectators watched on with wry amusement at what had just unfolded.
The baffling incident took place at the Hequan Town resort area in Bengbu, China, on Saturday (13 Jun).
Visitors had been watching a re-enactment – titled “Attack on Laoximen” – depicting atrocities committed by invading Japanese soldiers.
The attacked actor was reportedly taken to hospital for a check-up but was found to be uninjured.
Staff said it was the first time they had encountered anything like it and said they would consider installing safety barriers in future.
They chose not to report the man to the authorities.
