A prankster caused panic and chaos at a Target store and a Little Caesars outlet in Warren, Michigan. Eyewitnesses recounted the harrowing moments when a man poured what appeared to be gasoline over himself, sending shoppers running for the exits in a frenzy. According to one witness, people were begging for their lives, thinking that the man was attempting to commit suicide.
It later emerged that the incident was a tasteless prank, and the liquid in the gasoline container was merely water. A video of the stunt was uploaded to the Facebook page of Detroit comedian Eastside Ivo, along with footage of another prank at a Little Caesars outlet.
The situation at Target took a dangerous turn when a man, who believed that the incident was real, pulled out a gun. Thankfully, nobody was hurt, and the situation was brought under control.
