An Indonesian maid was arrested yesterday after a hidden video camera filmed her allegedly abusing her employer's four-month-old daughter.
The employer, 35, hid a video camera in his daughter's bedroom at his flat in Fook On House in Wan Tau Street, Tai Po, after his wife recently noticed the baby often cried and refused to eat.
The man switched on the camera before he and his wife went out yesterday morning, but was shocked when they returned home at 5pm to view the footage.
Part of the film shot yesterday allegedly showed the maid, 27, throwing the girl on to a bed and pressing her stomach with her palms. It also showed her allegedly lifting the baby up by her foot and swinging her in mid-air.
The couple, after confronting the maid, took her and the camera to Tai Po police station to make a report. The baby was later taken to a hospital for a check-up.
Last night, the maid was still being detained.
