In late 2013, one of Callum’s pranks went wrong. In a video uploaded on 22 December 2013, Callum attempted to “prank” a man by “stealing” his car in a London parking lot to prove how easy it was in the modern day. The man – unsurprisingly – failed to see the joke and proceeded to choke Callum and punch him in the face.
Whilst this was happening, Callum tried to explain but with no success. Eventually, Callum got through to the man, finally calmed him down, and explained that cameras were surrounding the area. The man agreed to let the video be uploaded to YouTube as long as his face was blurred.
