A disabled man from mainland China stunned road users in Hong Kong when he was seen riding a motorised tricycle along several major motorways in the city before being stopped by police.

The 29-year-old visitor, originally from Hebei province, was certified as disabled by mainland Chinese authorities.

In images and clips from dashboard cameras posted online on Tuesday afternoon, the man, who has a right leg disability, was seen riding his vehicle on the side of various motorways.
