'You Are Making My Heart Race!': Humanoid Scares Elderly Woman In Macau, Arrested | VIDEO

China: In a bizarre incident, a humanoid was ‘arrested’ on the streets of Macau for allegedly scaring an elderly woman. A dramatic video of the exchange between the robot and the 70-year-old woman is doing rounds on social media.

What Happened?

According to local reports and circulating videos, the incident occurred during a public demonstration of the humanoid robot by a education centre that was using it for promotional activities. The robot was reportedly moving along a sidewalk and interacting with pedestrians when a 70-year-old woman walking nearby became frightened by its sudden movement.

Witnesses said that woman, who was looking at her phone while walking, appeared startled and briefly lost her balance after the robot abruptly appeared behind her.

“You’re making my heart race!” the woman yelled at the robot, as per local media. She added, “You’ve got plenty to do, so what’s the point of messing around with this? Are you freaking crazy?”

Dramatic visuals from the scene showed the humanoid standing with both its hands raised in front of the woman while being scolded.

Several pedestrians were seen capturing the incident on their phones.

Emergency services were called and the woman was taken to hospital as a precaution. Authorities later confirmed that she was conscious and did not suffer serious injuries.

Robot ‘Arrested’

After the commotion on the street, police arrived and escorted the robot away from the scene. This has jokingly been described by netizens as the ‘arrest’ of the robot, who was seen obediently walking along with the officers.

'Robot Needs A Lawyer!'

Reacting to the video of the incident, a netizen joked that it looks like the robot needs a lawyer. Another said, "Oh, I can just see it now. And entire new branch of the judicial system will very soon be needed: Clanker Court."

Some social media users strongly voiced that humanoids should not be allowed in public places without proper supervision. “Robots of any kind should not be allowed in any public place unless they have massive visible STOP emergency buttons which have to by law be programmed to do exactly that if pressed or even touched large BIG RED BUTTONS THAT CANT BE MISSED AND CAN EASILY BE ACCESSED BY ANYONE,” a comment read.
