Moment 10-year-old boy dragged by school bus in China caught on tape

A surveillance video captured a 10-year-old Chinese schoolboy being dragged by a moving bus about 20 meters as his bag got stuck in the door.

The video taken on June 25 showed a backpack was trapped inside the bus door at the moment when the boy was getting off the bus. Then the driver started the bus with the trapped boy running with the moving bus. The bus was forced to stop finally after 20 meters.
