Footage, from China, of two motorbike riders appearing to pretend they were run over by a lorry, allegedly to extort the lorry driver.

The CCTV video, captured in Kunming, Yunnan Province on March 27, appears to show the two people driving beside the lorry before jumping off and throwing the bike under the large vehicle.

One of them, a woman, then appears to pretend to be injured.

According to local reports, when the lorry driver suggested calling the police and an ambulance the 'victim' said "no".

The lorry driver eventually called the police, and the uninjured woman who appeared to fake injury was arrested by police, and accused of extortion.
