An online video clip of passengers of a minibus screaming and begging its driver to stop when his vehicle ran erratically along an elevated motorway in Hong Kong until hitting a barrier has prompted police to launch an investigation and arrest the 57-year-old driver.

The video footage of the freak incident that lasted for about two minutes was captured by one of the passengers of the bus when it was running on the Tuen Mun-bound Yuen Long Highway at about 4.40pm on Wednesday.
