A shocking video captured an angry mother-to-be throwing a bowl of hot food at a less than one-year-old girl after having a dispute with her mum in central China.

The CCTV clip, shot in Zhoukou City in Henan Province on June 11, shows a pregnant woman entering a restaurant and walking
towards a table to pick up a bowl of hot food.

However, she suddenly threw the bowl of hot food towards a woman and a baby girl dining on a table when she walked back to leave the restaurant.

According to reports, the pregnant woman was annoyed by the baby girl as she kept using the chopsticks to hit the table and then had an argument with the girl's mum.

The mother-to-be went back to the restaurant to attack the mum and the girl after she was dragged away by her husband.

The girl had injuries and the pregnant woman was fined and detained.
