A Brazilian beauty contest ended in chaos when the furious runner-up wrenched the crown off the winner's head, and threw it to the ground moments after the result was announced.

As Carolina Toledo, 20, was being crowned Miss Amazon 2015, runner-up Sheislane Hayalla saw red as audience members in Manaus, northern Brazil, captured the amazing scenes on camera. 

Other participants looked on in horror as the 23-year-old contestant ripped out the tiara, threw it to the ground, pointed an accusing finger at her adversary and insulted her before storming off stage.
