An angry man decided to vent his anger by kidnapping his own son with a knife.

The man in Qujing, Yunnan province, grabbed the boy in a supermarket after he believed that his wife apparently had an affair.

The unnamed man, 40, held the knife against the boy's neck and walked along a street as the woman followed them and pleaded for her son's release.

Police tried to talk to him and he released the boy after four hours of negotiating.

Police took the man back to the police station for investigation.
