Man goes on excavator rampage in China, smashing govt building over compensation row (VIDEO)

In a shocking incident in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China, a 47-year-old man went on a rampage with an excavator, destroying parts of the Fengdong New City Government Service Centre. The violent act, which lasted nearly an hour, was triggered by a dispute over compensation for a demolished livestock farm, according to a local government employee.

The excavator smashed the entrance steps, signage, and exterior structures, causing significant damage to at least six sections of the complex. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident, and staff and visitors were evacuated immediately. The suspect, identified only as Hu, was detained at the scene and is currently under criminal investigation. The government service centre has since returned to normal operations.
