Shocking moment TikToker arrested after shoving microphone under nose of King’s Guard horse and its rider
SHOCKING footage shows the moment a TikToker was arrested after shoving a microphone under the nose of a King’s Guard horse and its rider.
The prankster began confronting people who criticised him for harassing the guardsman and his mount while tourists tried to take pictures on Thursday.
But after arguing with another man, he was grabbed and pinned to a fence by armed cops as he pleaded with them for calm.
The TikToker, who posts under the handle ymusa18, was then cuffed and marched away following the distressing scenes.
Multiple angles of the incident have been shared online after it happened earlier this week.
This includes a post by the trouble-making youngster on his own TikTok account.
Labelling it “interviewing the Royal Guard and their horses” in his own version of the clip, he holds a microphone to the horse’s muzzle and asks it for its name.
One man, who is reported to be a YouTuber according to MailOnline, took offence to the TikToker’s behaviour.
He angrily shouted: “Stop being so God-damn rude. F*** off, you rude b******.
“Go on, p*** off.”
The youngster then retorts as the pair get too close for comfort with the videographer pushing him away.
The angry TikToker then launches into a rant, yelling over and over: “Who the f*** you touching?”
It’s at this moment, armed cops decided to intervene after the scuffle becomes physical.
As the drama unfolds, two armed police officers come charging over to stop the commotion gripping sub-machine guns.
The male officer places his hand on the prankster’s chest and pushes him backwards, telling him to “calm down” and “get back”.
The cop forces him back to the fence in a matter of seconds as the TikToker protests his innocence, claiming he is “calm”.
But the smile is soon wiped off of his face after being told he is being arrested on suspicion of a public order offence.
As he is told he is being arrested he stops talking and remains silent as he is frogmarched inside the museum’s gates.
The TikToker’s previous videos show him harassing members of the public.
And he was previously searched outside Downing Street for appearing to suggest he was carrying a bomb.
‘DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR’
Social media users were quick to weigh in with their opinions after watching the shocking video.
One said: “He can’t lie out of this one, he’s caught on video.. DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR.”
While another wrote: “100% credit to the police for removing this clown.”
A third agreed, writing: “Too many of these kids think they have the right to disrespect the Kings guard. They are too cocky.
“Good on the police for arresting him and for the cameramen for telling him off.”
“Hopefully, this will stop people acting like fools, show some respect, and stop thinking their entitled to do whatever they want,” said a fourth.
Like other parts of Whitehall and nationwide locations of utmost national security, the Household Cavalry Museum is protected by the Ministry of Defence Police rather than the Metropolitan Police.
