This Week's Viral Video: Frustrated man smashes Mercedes Benz over faulty service [Watch Video]

Another bizarre video floating on YouTube has garnered rave reviews. In the video, a South Korean man named Yu Je-ha, can be seen smashing up his brand new Mercedes Benz S63 AMG with a golf club on Friday, Sept. 11. (Watch the video below.)

While justifying his actions, the 33-year-old man blamed the staff of the dealership office in Gwangju. According to Mr. Yu, he destroyed his new Mercedes Benz sedan as a mark of protest against the poor customer service provided by the dealer of his car.

Divulging the issues he faced with his car, Yu said that the engine broke down thrice in six months. He even claimed that the dealership offered to exchange the car if he faces any issue with the engine for the third time. However, when the engine got stalled for the third time at the beginning of this month and he demanded to exchange the car, the staff at the dealership store denied to take any action until their boss came back from a foreign trip.

Yu then got into an argument with the staff for two hours. Later, he took out his baseball bat and beat the luxury sedan that was parked outside the store. The said car is worth $500,000 (AU$360,000), according to Reuters.

The global sales of Mercedes Benz passenger cars present a rosy picture of the company. A 9.7 percent increase in the sales was witnessed in August 2014, according to a report published in Business Insider.

This video, shot by an anonymous person, has been viewed by more than 70,000 people. The said video has caught the eye of the people from all around the globe owing to its popularity over several social networking websites. The video description on YouTube reads, “Angry man smash his new Mercedes Benz with golf club in Korea. A man has been captured on film taking a golf club to his Mercedes Benz in the middle of a busy street.”

Yu Je-ha has drawn flak for his actions from people all around the world and this can be seen in the comments section. YouTube commenter @9phyok32 (Turbo Snail) condemned the incident and wrote, “Money doesn't buy you class". Few have supported Yu over YouTube and retaliated by commenting, “Way to make a statement, we buy these brands for their quality and reliability, it all comes at a hefty price.” Watch the video of the angry man smashing his luxury Mercedes Benz with a golf club here:
