'Sick' footage shows laughing men harass screaming bridesmaids in wedding ritual

A disturbing video has emerged showing four screaming bridesmaids being harassed by a group of men, including one who is seen with his pants down.

The women are grabbed and thrown around on a bed before the laughing males pile on top of them in the video, which has gone viral on social media.

The footage, which shows the women desperately trying to fight back, is believed to have been filmed at a wedding in Xingtan, a town within the city of Foshan, in Guangdong province of southern China.

It is thought the incident was part of a wedding hazing ritual.
