DISTURBING footage shows an abusive husband slapping his new bride across the face after she teases him with some wedding cake.

The viral clip, which some reports claim was filmed in Uzbekistan, shows the unhappy couple feeding each other a sweet treat as guests snap pictures at their reception.

The glum-looking bride tentatively takes a piece of cake from her husband before putting it in her mouth.

But when she attempts to feed her spouse, who is dressed in a black suit with matching tie, she teases him by pulling it away from his mouth.

Clearly not amused, the thug hits his wife across the face prompting gasps from stunned onlookers.

The woman, who is wearing a tiara, is nearly knocked off her feet by the horrific blow.

She is then seen holding her face as the aggressive man is pulled aside by a male guest.
