Approaching a passer-by in central London, the Apple Pay prank involved the influencer going up to a man and tapping their phones together.

The prank's victim quickly grabs him by the arm while the perpetrator loudly shouts "hairline" repeatedly.

He then tells the man "I took £1,000 out of your account for a new hairline" in reference to his own receding style.

As the man continues to hold onto his arm, the cameraman asks his friend whether he should keep filming.

Other people then start to get involved, making sure the influencer doesn't get away and saying "you don't go".

Despite the chaos, the TikToker tells his cameraman to "keep rolling bro" with a big grin on his face.

But he quickly changes his tune when the man starts asking people to call the police.

The "hairline" prankster quickly starts shouting "bro it's a prank" as he is dragged backwards by the man he was pranking, and another passerby.

Another man then approaches the youngster and loudly says: "I am a police officer."

As the cop asks the man to explain what happened, the videographer keeps asking whether he should keep filming.

The video captures his friend being put in handcuffs by two plain-clothed police officers while he continues to shout that it was "just a prank".

The boy is pushed to the floor as the policemen tell him to keep still.

Despite shouting out in pain and saying they're "breaking my hand off," he encourages his friend to "keep recording."

Police then calmly tell him he has been detained so that they can conduct a stop and search for articles relating to fraud.

It's not the first time pranksters have been dealt instant karma.

A teenager who threatened to stab a pedestrian was quickly humiliated when he fell off his bike moments later.

And furious motorists were filmed locking horns with the driver of a black SUV after a risky undertake - only to realise the motor was an unmarked police car.
