Police say they will prosecute a driver after identifying them in connection with a white Tesla seen reversing along a Wan Chai pavement.

Footage circulating online showed the car moving slowly along the narrow pavement outside No. 30 Fleming Road at about 11am on September 8, with several pedestrians nearby. A man carrying a blue paper bag stepped to the right as the car moved backwards. The manoeuvre seriously affected pedestrian safety.

Police said they identified the vehicle and driver on October 6. The case is provisionally classified as dangerous driving, and the investigation is continuing.
