A foreign motorbike rider who was reported to have been the victim of extortion by a Chinese woman "feigning injury" at a crossroad in Beijing really did hit the woman, police said on Tuesday.

Online outrage over an "additional case" of seemingly vulnerable people taking advantage of the "innocent" has vaporized after Beijing police released their conclusions on their official Weibo account, along with video footage showing the bike ramming into the woman walking on a crossing.

The foreigner, who was not named, did not have a driving license and the motorbike lacked a plate. Police confiscated the bike on Monday and will punish the rider under the traffic laws, they wrote.

A series of photos appeared on the Internet early Tuesday, with the accompanying text saying that the middle-aged woman fell to the ground suddenly when a young foreigner rode a motorbike through the crossroads of Xiangheyuan Road and Zuojiazhuang East Street in Chaoyang district.

The text claimed the foreigner helped her up but she asked him to shoulder responsibility, and eventually got 1,800 yuan ($295) in "medical fees" to resolve the issue.

"The helpless poor foreign young man burst into tears," the article claimed.

Chinese Net users expressed their anger against the woman due to similar extortion cases in the past, saying the woman should not act so shamefully before a foreigner, which caused the country to lose face.

However, the woman said the descriptions are not real and had brought great pressure to her. "Many of my hometown fellows called me and cursed me, claiming I was an extortionist," the woman, surnamed Li, told the Beijing News.

According to Li, the foreigner hit her after running red lights. Because she has a heart disease, and suffered a mild attack after the accident, she was sent to hospital.

Doctors found she had soft tissue injuries, and suffered from pains in her ankles and shoulders, Li said. "The 1,800 yuan from the foreigner was mainly to cover the ambulance and medical fees."

The photographer, also surnamed Li, who posted the pictures online with the earlier story, admitted to the People's Daily Tuesday that there was an accident, but since the slow-speeding motorbike only caused slight injures, he thought the foreigner might be the innocent victim of extortion.

According to another video posted online by a passerby, the woman sat on the ground to hold the bike, while the young foreigner shouted dirty words in Chinese at her, and some onlookers asked him not to curse her.

According to the police's Weibo account, police called an ambulance to send the woman to hospital where she was diagnosed with slight injures, and "the two sides negotiated with each other on the compensation in the hospital."
