A man has been arrested for passing himself off as a policeman to stop his father from hiring prostitutes.

The man, 21, from Changzhou, in the southern Jiangsu province, was reported by the South China Morning Post to have worn a police uniform to scare away sex workers after his father had asked for money.

Witnesses said he used an electric baton he had bought online to frighten a passer-by's dog, leading to the police being called.
