CCTV video from the residential complex shows the shirtless homeowner, Mr Jiang, holding a sharp butcher’s knife in either hand and waving them at the security guard.
As the guard dodges his hacking attempts and backs away, the apparently intoxicated pensioner swings the cleavers wildly towards his chest and face.
When the suspect is unsuccessful in his attack, he is seen throwing one of the blades on the ground, narrowly avoiding the guard’s foot, the video shows.
After he had apparently calmed down, he is later seen entering the guard’s security booth and lodging the blade in his wooden desk.
Lufeng police said they arrested the homeowner after being called to the scene.
After sobering up, Mr Jiang explained that he had been in a dispute with the security guard in the past over a parking issue.
After he got struck and spotted the guard on patrol, he fetched his cleavers and attempted to hack him, reports said.
Mr Jiang was detained for attempted assault and an investigation is being carried out.
