Authorities in Beijing have detained 30-year old man following a viral video showing him traveling on a motorcycle in downtown Beijing at speeds of up to 237 kilometers per hour.

The native of Guangxi was returned to Beijing this weekend to face charges of dangerous driving.

In the early morning hours of August 22nd, the suspect recorded a video showing him circling around the 37.5-kilometers of Beijing's second ring road in just under 14 minutes.

The clip has since been viewed hundreds of thousands times online.

His maximum speed almost tripled the speed limit on the 2nd ring road, where motorcycles are banned to begin with.
