The incident they are referring to is one that has captivated and shocked America after Rudy Eugene - apparently high on a potent form of LSD - attacked Ronald Poppo on MacArthur Causeway last week, beating him and eating his face off during a horrific 18-minute ordeal before being shot dead by police.

The video is being slammed as sick and dangerous by viewers, many of whom say the prankster was lucky he did not get shot.

By the end, the tables are turned and a group of teenagers in a basketball court run after the prankster.

Many who have watched the video in YouTube have expressed amusement over the footage, though it is feared there will be more copycat pranks and someone will get seriously hurt or killed.
