Resident's dispute with property management leads to bulldozer smashing van

DATONG, China, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- A feud between an apartment resident in China and his property management office escalated to the point where a bulldozer was summoned to smash the man's van.

Video of the incident in Datong, Shanxi Province, shows the bulldozer using its powerful front shovel to crush the van outside of the apartment building Oct. 18.

Investigators said the bulldozer was hired by the property management company after the vehicle's owner, a building resident, parked the vehicle in front of the entrance to an underground parking structure.

The man told police he had been upset about a verbal and physical altercation that resulted when he visited the residence management office to complain about repairs needed inside his apartment.

Police said an investigation into the situation is ongoing.
