A JD Sports Outlet staff had his heart skip many beats when a customer ‘ran off’ with the pair of shoes he was trying on, in the middle of a bustling shopping hour.
The ‘customer’ is actually a Malaysian YouTuber-cum-comedian, who planned the gag, imitating a similar ‘action’ posted on social media some time ago.
Harvinth Skin’s video sprinted into the big leagues of the globe’s social media influencers, when the footage, documenting the ‘acts of cruelty’ against a sales assistant, became a runaway hit.
The 45-second video captured a fleeting moment when Harvinth is seen dashing out of the store, with the pair of trainers he was trying on. Much to the relief of the horrified staff, Harvinth dashed right back in after a few seconds, pretending nothing amiss.
Harvinth reportedly apologised and hugged the still bewildered staff member, Martin, before paying for the pair of kicks.
Since the video was uploaded onto Facebook on Monday, Nov 24, Harvinth’s ‘runaway’ prank has been viewed over 60 MILLION times by global netizens, including over 21mil views from his original post.
I had to give it a try? 👟🤷🏾♂️😂 JD Sports Malaysia give this man a raise! 💵Instagram : @harvinthskinYouTube : www.youtube.com/skintv
