A 37-year-old Hong Kong woman has been arrested in connection with seven traffic-related offences after a photo of her riding an e-bike with two children was posted online.
Police said on Friday that investigations showed the woman allegedly driving the e-bike along the Ching Hiu Road pedestrian walkway in Sheung Shui in the New Territories on Tuesday.
A girl wearing what appears to be a school uniform and a backpack can be seen riding pillion, while a boy in shorts is sitting in front of the woman.
The force said it immediately launched a thorough investigation after it discovered the photo circulating online.
Officers from the New Territories North traffic apprehended the woman in Sheung Shui at around 12.20pm on Thursday.
She was detained for traffic-related offences, such as driving without a licence, riding an unregistered vehicle, driving a motorcycle on a pedestrian path, illegally carrying a passenger under the age of eight and riding without wearing a protective helmet.
The woman, released on bail pending further investigation, is required to report back to police next month.
