Cuban comedian and influencer Joan Rodríguez, known on social media as Hurón Verifica, pulled a prank in Havana that got out of hand, prompting police intervention to restore order.
On this occasion, the young man was in the park in front of the train station in Havana, having a conversation when suddenly a man, looking somewhat deranged, approached him and pretended to inject something into his neck.
In response to the protests from Hurón, the "aggressor" approached other individuals in a threatening manner, which caused panic among those present, and everyone fled in fear.
Suddenly, another man who was part of the prank showed up and threw him to the ground. However, what the "actors" didn't anticipate was that two police officers would arrive running at the scene.
Although at first they seemed not to understand that it was a hidden camera and were presumably bothered, in the end, they didn’t take the joke badly and even seemed to find it amusing.
But just as the agents arrived, a woman also approached with a stick and, before anyone could stop her, she struck the "crazy man" on the head, who was face down and immobilized on the ground.
The woman was summoned by Hurón, who argued with her very angrily.
The video can be viewed on Instagram, where it has garnered over 12,600 likes in just two days.
"Similarly, they sleep at the station," commented an internet user.
"The only useful moment for the police during the day, and it turns out it was a joke," another person mocked.
"At least the police have something to occupy them besides asking for ID, haha," added another.
"The aunt gave her a real scare," a young man laughed.
"They're going too far... it's just foolishness, honestly, I didn't find it funny," criticized a girl.
"I didn't find what they did funny; you don't know how people are or how they might react to that type of joke. Maybe there's someone who could take that kind of thing the wrong way. I love your videos, but that's not how you joke around," another person agreed.
"The crazy guy. For those who couldn’t watch the video on YouTube," said the comedian.
