Woman arrested over child abuse in Hong Kong after dashcam video shows boy shoved
Wan Chai officers investigate child abuse case after dashcam footage shows woman pushing boy into metal roadside railing
A 44-year-old woman in Hong Kong has been arrested on suspicion of child abuse after dashcam footage appeared to show her shoving a boy into a roadside railing.
A police force spokesman said on Saturday that the woman was arrested on Friday afternoon in Western district after a widely circulated dashcam video drew the force’s attention.
In the video seen by the South China Morning Post, the woman gets out of a private car at a section of Wan Chai Road near Burrows Street, with a boy following suit.
The woman then turns around to hold onto the boy by his waist, before the two walk towards the pavement next to the road.
