Police in China are investigating a man under suspicion of beating his girlfriend, who was seven months pregnant, and allegedly causing a miscarriage.
Liu Tingting, from Tai’an in Shandong province in eastern China, said in a video that her boyfriend at the time, a general manager at a local Mercedes-Benz store, regularly physically assaulted her. It is unclear if they are still together.
In the video, Liu held her Chinese identification card in front of the camera followed by a clip of her then-boyfriend, surnamed Yin, appearing to knee her in the stomach and throw her off a bed.

“When I was seven months pregnant, Yin started hitting me because he did not want me to deliver the baby,” claimed Liu.
On Thursday, a police officer told the Chinese news platform Feidian Video that they are investigating the incident and “will release an official announcement once we discover the truth”.
