Porn is flashed up on LED screen for 10 minutes

Passersby were subjected to the graphic scenes - and sound effects - as they passed the massive screen situated on a busy roadside in Mudanjiang, China.
In the background, motorists can be heard beeping their horns in response to the film, while others on foot had taken out their mobile phones to record.

A nearby resident who had heard about the incident after it had been posted about on Chinese social network WeChat admitted he immediately rushed to the scene.

He said: "There were some elderly people and some under-aged children who saw it. The screen was facing a huge hospital and several patients in the building saw it too."

After ten minutes, citizens eventually decided to phone police, and the screen was soon switched off.

A staff member at the hospital told Sohu News: "The screen has been there for two to three years but I have no idea who owns it."

Two days later, police located the company responsible for the screen.

Allegedly, a male employee had decided to entertain himself with the adult video while he was at work, but had accidentally projected it onto the screen after not understanding how to work the controls.

The man has been detained by authorities according to the Shanghaiist.

The People's Republic of China has banned pornography since its establishment in 1949.
Anyone who produces, distributes or purchases lewd magazines, books and videos can be penalised.

Usual punishments consist of a fine and a warning although some cases have been known to end in a prison sentence.
