A man who showered commuters with banknotes from his 30th floor flat has been arrested in China, it is reported.
The 29-year-old was in a methamphetamine-induced âtranceâ at his home in the southwestern city of Chongqing when he began hurling a âheavenly rainâ of cash from his window, police said.
Footage of the incident, which took place on October 17, has now been viewed more than half a million times online, according to the Guardian.
The video shows traffic chaos on the roads as dozens of people jump out of their cars and out onto the road to catch the flying bills.
However, their excitement was short lived and the man was taken into custody, the news site reported.
The man was detained for taking drugs and remained under investigation, police said in a statement.
Three years earlier, in the same city, a woman walked into traffic throwing banknotes in her wake.
She splashed around £1,800 (16,000) because she was in a bad mood, local media reported at the time.
In September last year, a man cast more than £11,500 (100,000 yuan) into the air after having a bad day at work in the southeastern city of Shishi.
The manâs actions caused a traffic jam and passers-by fell over each other to grab what they could, the South China Morning Post reported.
The 42-year-old later regretted the impulsive move and asked for his money back.
