THIS is the shocking moment an alleged cheater dangles from a sign on the side of a hotel in just his boxers to avoid being caught by his wife.
Neighbours spotted the man clinging to the large illuminated sign several storeys above the ground, wearing nothing but a pair of brightly coloured underwear.
The bizarre scene, captured in China, left people stunned as they watched his risky escape from the high-rise building.
Footage shows figures moving around inside the room he supposedly made his escape from as nosey neighbours from the apartment above peer from their windows to catch a glimpse of the spectacle.
The man was allegedly discovered cheating in a hotel room by his wife and attempted to escape through a window.
A video of the chaotic scene was widely shared online in the city of Hangzhou, in Zhejiang Province.
The man scaled along the exterior wall until he reached the sign, where he remained stuck outside, according to local reports.
The footage triggered widespread discussion online, with many social media users reacting to the dramatic escape attempt.
Some commenters joked about the risks of having an affair in a city hotel, while others focused on the unusual sight of the man hanging from the sign.
One user said: “The cost of having an affair is getting higher and higher, I suggest you learn rock climbing first.”
Another quipped: “Good thing he at least managed to slip on his shorts.”
Others were more scathing, with user one posting: “Got the guts to cheat, got the guts to climb so high riskin’ his life but don’t dare face his wife. tsk…”
Local officials have not commented on the incident, and there have been no confirmed reports about what happened to the man afterwards.
This comes just days after viral footage of a similar scene unfolded in Guangdong, China, when an alleged mistress nearly plunged to her death trying to hide from her lover’s wife.
Neighbours spotted the woman dangling from a 10th floor balcony as she appears to almost lose her grip.
A shirtless man can be seen talking to the woman through the window before he disappears from view.
Holding her phone, she then starts her descent to the floor below, climbing down drain pipes and windowsills.
The woman appears to slide down a water pipe to a neighbour’s window, when she bangs on for help.
Fortunately, the person inside opens up and helps the woman to safety.
Local reports claim a cheating husband panicked when his wife returned home early and pushed his mistress out onto the balcony to prevent her from being discovered.
