Teenage boys let off after dancing on cop car for online video

Two teenage boys who danced on a parked police car outside a traffic police brigade in Bozhou, Anhui Province on August 13 while another was filming their antics will escape punishment.

They posted the footage online, which soon caught the attention of the brigade who said "waiting for you to drink tea" on its official Weibo account in response to their "picking quarrels and provoking trouble".

The trio gave themselves up to police the next day, accompanied by their parents.

The youngest, surnamed Sun, who captured the video, is 15 years old. The other two who climbed on the car and danced were Zhang, 17 and Fang, 15.

They were exempted from punishment of administrative detention because they are under the age of 18, although their parents were told to be more strict with them, police said.
