Dashcam footage of a man deliberately throwing himself onto the bonnet and windscreen of a moving car in one of Hong Kong’s busiest districts has gone viral online.
The footage shows a man intentionally running towards a moving car, pretending to be hit, and rolling on the ground.
The incident took place in the bustling Mong Kok district of the city’s Kowloon peninsula at 2 am on January 1, 2023, and has led to speculation that the man was attempting to scam the car driver for compensation.
In the video, the man can be seen running towards the front of the car and pressing his body against the windscreen before falling backwards and rolling onto the street.
As he rolls around on the ground – a total of 77 times as counted from the footage – the passengers in the car can be heard shouting in surprise: “What is he doing? Why did he do that?”
“He’s sitting on my car!”
