The foreigner who knocked over a Chinese woman on Dec 2 received administrative detention and a fine and will be expelled from China for working here illegally, Beijing police said on Wednesday.

The foreigner was involved in an accident that was initially reported as the Chinese woman intentionally throwing herself in front of his motorbike with plans to extort the foreigner.

The reports aroused much attention and became a hot topic on Sina Weibo, a popular micro-blogging service. Many netizens criticized the woman, saying she "lost face for all Chinese".
