The woman surnamed Li from Zhuji, Zhejiang province, was not aware her son had got out of the car when she dropped her father-in-law at a local train station on Sunday morning, Zhejiang TV reported.

As Li drove away, her son Jia Jia, who was on the street, started chasing the car in the rain.

At one point, Jia Jia reached the car and pulled on the door, surveillance footage showed.
