An angry woman forced an elderly man to kneel in the street after he accidentally knocked her phone out of her hand.

A video, which was filmed at an unknown location in China, shows the woman demand that the man pays compensation for her damaged phone as she slaps him in the middle of a busy road.

Despite the elderly man promising to pay her back once he has the means to do so, she continues to berate him in front of witnesses.

The shocking exchange was filmed by a witness and it has since gone viral on Chinese social media, People's Daily Online reports.

The woman had allegedly been taking pictures of her children with her new iPhone 6 plus when the old man passed through on his moped.

He accidentally bumped into her shoulder and her phone fell on the ground, and the screen cracked, the newspaper reports.

"The old man’s voice was trembling and he had tears in his eyes," a witnesses said, describing how the woman called four friends to the scene.

"The young woman’s friends hit the old man’s hat constantly and discussed whether they should really hit him," the witness said.

After a long verbal argument between the young woman and the old man, she is said to have demanded: ‘Kneel down for apology, then I will forget the money!’

The old man allegedly came off his moped, falling over as he kneeled down.

'His disability became apparent to the crowd but the young woman’s action became more infuriating,' a witness said.

‘The young lady just stood in front of the old man and slapped him twice.'

In the clip, the woman can be heard demanding that he pays her on the spot, despite his assurance that she will be compensated eventually.

Although no one called the police, the authority has investigated further after the clip went online.

Someone posted under the username ‘The girl who sells tea eggs’, wrote:

It was the old man’s fault that he bumped into the young woman but this is definitely not a reason to slap someone. The old man has to pay a compensation for sure but they could have called the police to settle the matter. If you stand in the old man’s shoes, you would be very angry as well. How can one compare the value of a phone and the old man’s dignity? How can people be so cold-hearted?

The young woman has been called to report at the police station.
