A disturbing incident occurred at a toll booth in Ningdu, Jiangxi province, on 5/10, when an employee used a tree pruning saw to block a motorcyclist.

As the camera-equipped motorcycle approached, two employees appeared. One male employee, holding the saw, shouted at the motorcyclist, placing the tool on the front of the vehicle. He demanded the rider dismount and instructed another person to call the police. The video showed the employee removing the motorcycle's camera and turning it off.

The video quickly spread on Chinese social media, sparking widespread debate and anger over the employee's aggressive behavior. The management unit issued a brief statement, explaining that the employee was "overzealous and handled the situation improperly".

In Jiangxi province, as in many other parts of China, motorcycles are prohibited from highways. Toll booth employees are responsible for reminding and redirecting such vehicles. However, the management's explanation failed to address public concerns. The main issue was not the motorcyclist's presence on the highway, but why an employee lacking enforcement authority used a dangerous tool to threaten a citizen and deliberately damaged recording equipment.

Meanwhile, the motorcyclist also violated traffic laws by entering the highway. This offense typically results in a deduction of 3 license points and a 200 yuan fine.
