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.
