Custody battles can be a very difficult time for parents and the kids involved - especially when both parents don't see eye-to-eye. 

A shocking video from Russia has emerged showing an irate dad smashing his ex-wife's car windscreen while his daughter was in the backseat of the car. 

The video starts off with the dad outside of the car. His ex demands him to move away, but he refuses. In an instant, he grabs something from his pocket and starts cracking the windscreen, his little daughter can be heard screaming from the backseat. 

The dad eventually gets his hand through the driver's window, unlocks the back door, and takes his daughter away with him in his arms.
