A young woman arrested for drink driving on her way to a date was so frustrated that she broke her leg trying to kick down the door of her police cell.

The woman, named only as Anastasia, was on her way to meet a man in the town of Velikiye Luki, in north-western Russia’s Pskov Oblast region, when she was pulled over by cops.

When the police officers tried to arrest her for drink-driving, she fought back and ended up locked up in a cell at the local police station.

The woman, wearing a little black dress, stockings and knee-high boots, repeatedly kicked the door and also trashed one of the beds inside the cell

CCTV footage shows that she was so angry that she started kicking the locked cell door as soon as cops left her to sober up.

The woman, wearing a little black dress, stockings and knee-high boots, repeatedly kicked the door and also trashed one of the beds inside the cell.

Anastasia then returned her attentions to the door but kicked it at an awkward angle with so much force that she broke her leg.

The video footage shows her collapse onto one of the beds holding her injured leg in apparent agony.

She was reportedly taken to a local hospital for treatment but still faces charges for drink driving and resisting arrest.

The clip is proving popular with viewers after it was posted on social media and video sharing platforms.

One person commented: ‘She should have hit the door with her head, running at it.’

While another added: ‘The majority of women who decide to drive after a couple of glasses of wine believe that they can get out of a ticket with a charming smile. When that fails, they get hysterical, this is normal.’
