Hong Kong police arrest woman for allegedly riding e-bike with 3 helmetless children as passengers
- Woman arrested for eight traffic-related offences, the second such case within a week after police detained another resident over riding e-bike with two children
- Most recent arrest prompted by footage showing a woman riding suspected e-bicycle carrying two girls and a boy as they cross road packed with moving vehicles
It was the second such case within a week, with the force arresting a woman, 37, last Friday on suspicion of riding an e-bicycle along a pavement while carrying two children.
Police said officers from the New Territories North traffic unit arrested a woman, 34, on Monday in Tin Shui Wai after an online video showed a rider on a suspected e-bike with a boy and two girls travelling along Tin Tan Street in Tin Shui Wai.
In the footage, a woman can be seen ignoring traffic signals while crossing Tin Shui Road.
The clip also shows a boy and one of the girls sitting in front of the rider, while the other child is positioned behind her as they try to cross a road packed with moving vehicles. The woman and children are not wearing helmets.
The woman was charged with eight offences, including dangerous driving, driving without a licence, driving a motorcycle on a pedestrian path, riding without wearing a protective helmet and illegally carrying a passenger under the age of eight.
