A video of a popular influencer’s prank, which went viral on social media, showed the prankster mocking a factory worker during a routine shift. The worker, visibly distressed, eventually collapsed on the factory floor, sparking concern among colleagues and bystanders.
The prank involved the influencer repeatedly shouting exaggerated threats and making mockery of the worker’s safety gear, leading to a severe emotional shock. Witnesses reported that the worker was unable to continue working and required immediate medical attention.
