Woman Gets Dragged Along The Street By Passing Trike

This is the terrifying moment a woman gets dragged across the street when her foot gets accidentally caught in a rope tied to an electric tricycle driving past her.

The scary incident reportedly happened at the west gate section of Senhuo Impression in Shahe Road, Fuyang City, in eastern China's province of Anhui on 8th May.

The clip - shared later on Douyin, China's version of TikTok - shows a man - named Guo in local media - driving an electric tricycle and about to turn left at the intersection, while a man and a woman cross the road.

Then, a small rope tied to the back of Guo's tricycle gets tangled around the woman's legs.

She tries to free her foot by shaking off the rope but quickly ends up on the ground and dragged along for a few feet before her screaming apparently alerts him to the problem.

Meanwhile, the other pedestrian stands by in apparent confusion and is barely able to react to the frightening scene.

Then, he slowly moves towards the fallen woman to apparently aid her before the footage ends.

Police later reviewed the incident and determined the tricycle rider was entirely at fault.

The woman was reportedly injured but it is unclear what her injuries were and if she got any compensation from Guo.

Many netizens faulted the trike rider for being reckless and demanded that he be punished, while others criticised the passing-by man for his slow reaction.

Douyin user 'Sing for you' commented: "He should be severely punished!"

While 'overtake' wrote: "Why didn't the other pedestrian immediately help?"

And 'No money' asked: "Why is the other pedestrian so calm?"
