A United States man forced his wife to walk naked down a New York City street in a bizarre punishment after he caught her sending nude pictures of herself to other men, reported dailymail.co.uk.

The enraged husband has filmed the moment.

‘The man can be heard publicly berating the woman as she walks down the street in nothing but a towel.’

‘She’s a tart. Let’s go. Let’s go. Say hi to the camera and say why you’re doing this,’ he says.

‘Finally the man tears the towel from his wife, leaving her completely exposed.’

‘Take off your towel and pay the price for the shame I feel after telling you how pretty you were and that I wanted to start a family with you, but it the meantime you were talking to seven other men,’ he says.

‘The video has provoked a range of reactions online, with some saying it was just desserts for the woman while others condemned it as completely inappropriate.

One viewer suggested the video was a fake as the man’s response was too extreme.’

‘You’d be surprised,’ another replied.
