DUBAI: A shocking video of the moment a woman in China purportedly gave birth on a busy street has gone viral.
The incident reportedly occurred in Yunfu, in China’s Guangdong province, on September 2. However, the footage cannot be verified.
According to the MailOnline.com, the woman’s water broke while she was shopping at a local market and she promptly gave birth to a baby while standing up.
Onlookers watch on as the baby is seen moving on the floor before a medical team arrives.
The footage then cuts to medical staff looking after the woman and her baby, who is placed on a chair.
Shockingly, the video then shows the mother walking away with her baby in one arm and her shopping in the other.
An offer by ambulance staff to take the pair to hospital was rebuffed, according to local media.

MAKKAH: The Holy Qur’an Museum at the Hira Cultural District in Makkah is showcasing a monumental handwritten copy of the Holy Qur’an, recognized as the largest Qur’an of its kind in the world.
The manuscript measures 312 cm by 220 cm and comprises 700 pages, earning the museum recognition from Guinness World Records for displaying the world’s largest Qur’an, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The manuscript is a magnified reproduction of a historic Qur’an dating back to the 16th century, the SPA stated.
The original copy measures 45 cm by 30 cm, with the chapters written primarily in Thuluth script, while Surah Al-Fatiha was penned in Naskh, reflecting the refined artistic choices and calligraphic diversity of the era.
The Qur’an is a unique example of Arabic calligraphy, gilding and bookbinding, showcasing Islamic art through intricate decorations, sun-shaped motifs on the opening folio, and elaborately designed frontispiece and title pages that reflect a high level of artistic mastery.
The manuscript was endowed as a waqf in 1883. Its original version is currently preserved at the King Abdulaziz Complex for Endowment Libraries, serving as a lasting testament to Muslims’ enduring reverence for the Qur’an and the richness of Islamic arts across the centuries.
