Beggar with 'no legs' walks away when police arrive to help him

A beggar who lay at the side of a road pretending he had no legs was moved on by police who made him stand up and walk away. The man lay slumped on his front in Chengdu, in Sichuan Province, China, with his legs tucked under him, and his jeans stretched out to make it appear he had no legs.
He is approached by a police officer, who bends down and talks to him for some moments. The officer then reaches out and helps the man to his feet before guiding him across the road.
Chengdu is one of a number of cities where officials have tried to clamp down on begging. They have staged aggressive campaigns to restrict begging in central areas.
People living in the Sichuan provincial capital have been asked by the Civil Affairs Bureau not to give money to beggars and to report them to so-called salvation management centres.
Similar campaigns have been waged in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big urban centres.
Anti-beggar bus stop chairs, made of steel and designed to be slippery, have been installed in Chengdu to stop beggars being comfortable.
