A TikToker, known by the handle ymusa18, found himself in hot water after a stunt involving the King’s Guard outside Buckingham Palace went awry. The incident unfolded in London, where the prankster was apprehended by armed police officers after shoving his microphone under the nose of a King’s Guard and his horse.

The viral video footage captured the prankster’s confrontation with the guardsman, during which he bombarded the professional sentinel with absurd questions. Despite maintaining a composed demeanour, the guardsman was visibly perturbed by the prankster’s antics.

However, the situation took a turn when members of the public intervened, condemning the prankster’s behaviour as disrespectful. Amid escalating tensions, the TikToker was eventually restrained and arrested by armed police officers.

This incident is just one of many provocative pranks orchestrated by ymusa18, whose previous exploits include harassing members of the public on trains and pulling ‘Uber pranks’ by climbing into the back of police vehicles. In another controversial incident outside Downing Street, the prankster attracted the attention of armed police after making inflammatory remarks.

Following his arrest, the TikToker defiantly proclaimed his innocence and continued to court controversy with promises of further audacious stunts. However, his actions have sparked widespread condemnation, with many criticizing his disregard for public safety and disrespect for authority.

As the debate surrounding online prank culture continues to intensify, incidents like these serve as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of irresponsible behaviour in pursuit of viral fame. Authorities urge individuals to exercise caution and responsibility when engaging in online activities to avoid endangering themselves and others.
