In fact, police in Macau, China, have taken a humanoid robot into "custody" after it engaged in bizarre behavior on a public street, leaving netizens utterly astonished.
The incident occurred in a residential area of Macau, where a humanoid robot suddenly walked up and stood right behind a 70-year-old elderly woman. In the viral video, you can see the woman engrossed in checking her phone; the moment she turned around and spotted the 4-foot-tall robot, she let out a scream.

The footage suggests that the robot was deliberately trying to frighten the elderly woman. In her panic, the woman screamed at the robot, exclaiming, "You’ve made my heart race! Are you out of your mind?" According to media reports, police officers arrived at the scene, managed to surround the robot, and took it away with them.

Who is this 'Criminal' Robot?
It is worth noting that this is no ordinary machine; rather, it is an advanced robot—specifically a Unitree G1 model—standing approximately 4 feet tall. It was designed primarily for educational and promotional purposes. The robot is equipped with sensors and depth cameras to help it detect and avoid obstacles.
So, Was It Truly an Arrest?
Technically, the police have issued a warning to the robot operator. The investigation revealed that a local educational center was testing the device. The robot had not attempted to frighten the woman; it was simply waiting for her to move aside. However, the elderly woman was frightened by its presence and had to be taken to the hospital.
