A man in Hanoi hijacked a taxi with its engine on while its driver was out, before giving it a spin.

Hanoi police on Tuesday summoned a 41-year-old man in Nam Tu Liem District to verify a report about him driving someone else's car and performing tricks. The man admitted to the accusations.

The taxi driver said that on Tuesday morning, at the gates of My Dinh Bus Station, he stopped his car to buy drinks, leaving the engine on.

A man then proceeded to enter the car and drove it away, driving against the flow of traffic on Pham Hung Street, before making a U-turn.

The man then left the car and walked away.
