#Tianjin: Too drunk to drive, man pushes car home

A heavily intoxicated man decided to push his car all the way home in Tianjin municipality, fearing he might get arrested for drunken driving, last week.

However, while passing through his neighbour's home in Baodi, the man collapsed and passed out beside his car.

His neighbour mistook him for a victim of a hit-and-run case and phoned police, who arrived at the scene and patiently waited for the man to sober up so that he could tell them why he was sleeping on the road next to his car.
