A woman stunned commuters by taking her male friend for a walk through rush hour traffic on a DOG LEASH .

The bizarre sadomasochist act saw the woman – resplendent in a blue skirt and high heels – yanking her ‘dog’ through the busy streets.

Unsurprisingly, drivers and motorcyclists on their way home during afternoon rush hour were dumbfounded at the sight on the street of Fuzhou, capital of East China’s Fujian Province, where the man in jeans and a black T-shirt acted like a dog.

Many had never seen anything like it before and began frantically taking photos, while those who saw the tell-tale signs of S&M also whipped out their phones and began frenetically taking pictures of the scene.

According to witnesses, the woman would occasionally stop during her walk and stroked or petted the man’s head, telling passers-by that he was her “dog”, successfully raising the eyebrows and dropping the jaws of all present.

The bizarre acts drew so much attention that Fuzhou City police eventually arrived on the scene and told the couple to stop whatever it was that they were doing – though reports did not say on what grounds they were ordered to do so.

The woman untied the leash from the man’s neck and the pair disappeared into a shopping centre, reports said.

Netizens on Chinese social media site Weibo – commonly referred to as Chinese Twitter – are still trying to figure out the pair’s relationship and also the message they were trying to send.
