A small dog ran into a road near Kowloon City at about 8.05pm on August 16, prompting several vehicles to brake suddenly and narrowly avoid hitting it, according to a report citing footage circulating online.
The incident is believed to have taken place on Argyle Street towards Kowloon City, near Evangel Hospital, although the exact location has not been confirmed.
The footage, lasting about one minute and four seconds, shows the dog crossing the road as passing vehicles take evasive action. A motorcyclist then stopped, walked into the middle of the road to chase the animal and eventually picked it up.
The report said the rider later handed the dog to a person believed to be its owner before leaving. It did not confirm the person’s identity.
The report’s headline said the dog’s owner was suspected of not having used a lead and had faced criticism. However, the source did not confirm whether the dog was without a lead or whether the person who received it was the owner.
The source did not establish whether the dog, the motorcyclist or any motorists were injured.
