China: guest rams car into hotel lobby over 'stolen laptop' in viral video

A guest rammed his car into a Chinese hotel allegedly after spat with the staff over his missing laptop.

The January 10 clip from Jinling Purple Mountain Hotel in Shanghai shows a white car bursting into the lobby after bringing the hotel's glass doors crashing down.

The man then drove around the lobby destroying everything in his path. He reportedly also smashed another set of glass doors in the hotel. The accused, identified as 28-year-old Chen, only stopped when he got stuck while exiting.

Onlookers and hotel staff are seen banging on his car door and gesturing him to come out in the several videos that have gone viral.

As per an AFP report, the disgruntled man had an argument with the staff after not finding his laptop. No one was injured in the incident and the stolen laptop was recovered from outside the hotel.
