Chinese man dresses up as pregnant woman to get seat on train

A man's desperate attempt to get a seat on Beijing's crowded commuter trains has led to disbelief.

According to OMY news site, the man donned a wig, make up and even wore a fake belly to pose as a pregnant woman.

The report said the man, who looked to be middle-aged, entered the train and walked towards the seats. A little girl saw him and gave up her seat as she thought he was a pregnant woman.

When he reached his stop, the man got up from his seat but his fake belly fell on the floor.

Lie exposed, he immediately picked up the belly and rushed out of the train.
