Hong Kong police investigate taxi driver’s alleged public urination caught on video

Hong Kong police have launched an investigation over a widely circulated video clip showing a taxi driver allegedly urinating on the road before a traffic light.

The force said on Saturday that it had not received reports about the driver and that officers from the Traffic Kowloon East Region would investigate the incident.

“Police are aware of the video circulating online,” a spokesman said.

The social media post, published on Friday night, showed a cabby allegedly urinating after the taxi stopped at a red traffic light.

The man was also seen waving his hand to signal to cars behind him to move ahead while he urinated.

But his behaviour was captured by a dashcam of the vehicle behind, with the driver’s back facing the camera.
