"A viral clip shows the woman yelling and waving her bag at the diminutive bot, which repeatedly raises its arms in the air. Footage then shows two police officers escorting the Unitree G1 down the road, with one leading the robot by its shoulder. Police told reporters that the woman had stopped to check her phone when the robot halted behind her, waiting for her to clear the path."
"The elderly pedestrian was then 'frightened' to discover that the robot was silently following her down the road. Following the incident, the woman told police that she was feeling unwell and was taken to hospital for a check-up and treatment. After doctors confirmed there was no physical altercation between her and the robot, the unnamed woman said that she wouldn't be filing a complaint against the bot's operator."
"While the robot was not officially arrested, police did remove it from the scene and returned it to its operator, a man in his 50s, who was reminded to exercise caution. However, on social media, the short clip of a robot being escorted away by police has sparked a wave of memes, as commenters joke that this is the 'first robot arrest in history'."
