A furious wife brought traffic to a standstill in a busy Colombian street after discovering her husband with his mistress, the Daily Mail reports.

Adalia Brinez stepped out into the road to block Luis Alberto Diaz's path after spotting him driving her car with his alleged lover in the city of Ibague, central Colombia.

She started to turn heads by shouting out: 'Get that tramp out of the car, Luis' and banging her fists repeatedly on the bonnet as she made it clear the vehicle was hers.

And soon the scene turned even surreal as a packed bus stopped alongside her and passengers and onlookers lent their support with cries of: 'Yes, get that dog out.'

Police took nearly five minutes to turn up and by that time the street central Ibague had became a cacophony of blaring horns and shouting.

Officers seemed unsure what to do at first and simply looked on like the rest of the people gathered round as Ms Brinez continued to vent her rage.

It wasn't until a superior arrived and took charge of the situation that some sort of order began to be restored.

And it is not until several minutes into her outrageous verbal attack, that Mr Diaz emerged from the car.

Mr Diaz appears to interrupt his wife's conversation with police, asking officers to escort the alleged mistress, named locally as Daniela Murcia, from the car in an attempt to defuse the volatile situation.

She was subjected to a volley of abuse - and a failed attempt by Adalia to pull her hair - as she was led away looking incredibly uncomfortable.

Videos of the amazing incident posted on YouTube were going viral today, with more than two million combined views, sparking dozens of memes on social media sites.
