A prankster was arrested in Europe earlier this month for dumping buckets of dog feces onto unsuspecting metro passengers in Belgium — all for some clicks on YouTube.
Authorities in Belgium have had enough of his crap … arresting and charging the individual they named as Y.D. with assault and battery, damage to property using violence and property damage on January 3 — a day after he reportedly confessed to police about this prank in Brussels.
It wasn’t just dog feces … cops say he hurled a mixture of diverse substances such as excrement, oil, beer, water, fallen leaves and paint at innocent bystanders.
Since his arrest, the man’s been identified as YaNike on YouTube … where the prosecutor’s office says the incidents can be traced in 7 of his 16 vids.
In his most offending video from November 28, titled “Suprise du chef (6)” — translated to “Chef’s Surprise” — he dumps a bucket full of the nasty fecal matter onto a horrified train passenger before fleeing.
The victim filed a complaint, according to local outlet Sudinfo … and a complaint was also filed by the local transportation operator there, STIB, according to Politico.
YaNike only has around 480 subscribers, so he wasn’t anywhere near a big name on YouTube … needless to say, the pressure to do anything for viral fame truly stinks.
