Shocking video has emerged of a young boy allegedly being abused by his caregiver at a busy intersection in Hong Kong. Video posted on Facebook shows a 4-year-old boy believed to have been choked and hung at a road intersection by a 37-year-old Filipino domestic worker.

At Tin Hau Station on the MTR, onlookers could be heard angrily confronting the rescuer in English, saying the child was having trouble breathing. She replied contemptuously that he did not want to go to school, and hurried away with the boy. Distressed bystanders urged the uploader to report the incident to police and the boy's school.

Police launched an investigation after learning of the disturbing video circulating online. Detectives from the Eastern District Crime Squad later arrested the woman in North Point on suspicion of child abuse or neglect. She has been released on police bail pending further inquiries but must report by mid-October.

The boy had no visible injuries but was said to be shaken by his ordeal. Now, child custody remains an issue as some question how such shocking abuse could have gone unnoticed before the video emerged. In line with their zero-tolerance approach to harming minors, authorities are committed to finding out how the disturbing situation occurred.
