Leung Chai-yan, 24, decked in ghoulish attire and makeup for last night's Halloween festivities, was captured slapping her mother, Regina Tong Ching-yee, twice in the face as she was being bundled into a taxi amidst the huge crowds gathered in Lan Kwai Fong, according to a number of videos posted online.

As Tong helped her daughter get into the taxi, Leung slapped her in the face twice, refusing to let her get into the vehicle with her. Tong was seen cradling her own cheek in shock.

“You know this mum is not my actual biological mother,” said Leung to the small crowd gathered at the scene around 3am Sunday morning.

“Mum, just go. Just go.”
