A 44-year-old shirtless man was tied to a street sign by pedestrians after he was caught trying to steal four bottles of shampoo worth some HK$200 from a Mong Kok store on Wednesday morning. According to footage circulated online, the passers-by together subdued the shirtless Nepali man and tied him to the street sign of Canton Road. The man once loosened himself and attempted to flee the scene but another passer-by immediately threw himself on the man to stop him from running. The man was again subdued as other pedestrians helped tied him up using a rope. The man was arrested for theft.
