Chinese mother cut son's fingers with a meat cleaver after her husband said she should help the boy with his homework

A Chinese woman has been arrested after she allegedly tried to lop off her son's hand with a meat cleaver during a furious row with her husband at the family home in Shanghai.

Mingmei Sun, 34, was annoyed that her husband had not come home earlier to help the boy with his homework, leaving her to do it instead, police said.

A furious row erupted that resulted in her husband Tu, 36, walking away and locking himself in the bedroom.

Frustrated and furious that her husband was ignoring her she grabbed eight-year-old Mingming, who had been crying in the corner while his parents argued, and then got a meat cleaver and pulled him into the kitchen.

She then put the boy's hand on the kitchen table and allegedly tried to chop it off.

However, although she failed to do this, she still left her son in agony as she managed to slice three of his fingers off.

The boy's screams alerted his father, who rushed out and rescued him and took him to the nearest hospital, where doctors on Tuesday were attempting to reattach the fingers.
