Chinese motorist tries to run over mother and baby in row over jumping a queue
Woman in Nanjing incensed after mother pushed in line to buy milk tea, report says
Hundreds of people in eastern China surrounded a car after its driver tried to run over a woman carrying a baby in a dispute over jumping a queue, according to a news website report.
The argument started in Nanjing on Thursday afternoon when a young woman pushed into the queue to buy some milk tea, the news website Jschina.com.cn reported.
Several customers, including the driver of an Audi, were incensed.
The motorist slapped the woman with the baby twice, the report said.
The mother tried to leave, but the driver got into her car and chased her down the pavement.
The woman took refuge in a beauty parlour, but the driver blocked the entrance with her car, with a Nanjing Military Command entry permit in the window, the report said.
Hundreds of people then surrounded the car and the police were called.
The driver was put into a police car while officers investigated, but members of the public demanded she get out and apologise.
