ClosePolice in Thailand have arrested a woman whose pet lion was pictured going on a joyride in the streets of Pattaya.

A video that has now gone viral shows the chained lion cub seated in the back of a white, open-top Bentley.

The lion was being driven about by a Sri Lankan man who has since left the country, and is believed to be a friend of the woman Sawangjit Kosoongnern.

While it is not illegal to own a lion in Thailand, it needs to be officially registered.
