The startled man slows down and eventually stops his bicycle, visibly disoriented by the sudden attack. Meanwhile, the pranksters continue to spray foam, showing no regard for the potential dangers of their actions. The video was reportedly filmed in the middle of a busy road, raising concerns about the risk of accidents or even fatalities. Despite the serious nature of the prank, the two men went unpunished at the time of the incident and even made a reel out of the situation, adding a humorous song in the background, further angering netizens. The reckless behavior exhibited by the young men has drawn widespread condemnation on social media, with many calling for strict action to be taken. However, as of now, no formal action has been reported against the pranksters by local authorities. The incident highlights the growing concern over dangerous pranks that put lives at risk, not only posing a threat to the victims but also creating a public hazard. Such acts of irresponsibility, especially on busy streets, can have severe consequences, and authorities are being urged to address this incident to prevent similar reckless behavior in the future.
