The main individual who features in the footage—known online as “Mizzy”—has since had both his YouTube page and Tik Tok account removed. Scotland Yard confirmed they arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion of causing a public nuisance on Monday (May 22) evening.
Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway of the Central East Command Unit, which is responsible for policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, said: “I do not underestimate the widespread upset, distress and concern that these videos caused. Some people have referred to these as ‘prank’ videos, but I hope that this significant development demonstrates just how seriously we have been taking this investigation since this footage began circulating online.”
He added: “A number of these videos were produced, impacting on many different people, and our investigation remains ongoing as we seek to build a strong picture of both the activity featured in the footage and impact on the public.”
A TikTok spokesperson said: “Our community guidelines are clear that we prohibit content promoting criminal activity. In relation to this issue, we have banned accounts for violating these guidelines.”
