A man in Egypt tried to kill his wife in front of her children because he saw her cheating on him in his dream.

Residents of the area the couple lives in recently shared a disturbing video clip that showed the husband, who reportedly suffers from mental disorders, being arrested.

Several people were seen escorting the accused, 37-year-old man to police after he tried to run away after committing the crime. He was in a state of breakdown and his clothes were stained with blood.
