Gangs gathered around H&M in front of Oxford Circus Station, with the crowd yelling and screaming at police who were waiting for them. Hundreds of police officers, some on horses, were stationed around the region in the face of greater chaos. It came after a social media post on social media asked followers to 'rob JD Sports' and search other stores. According to the magazine, there was a "dress code" of balaclavas and gloves, and it read, "don't come if you can't run" if you can't run. Last night, fights broke out, and there had been at least nine arrests. Police in London's most popular shopping destination have 34 dispersal orders, giving them the ability to exclude people from the area around the city's most popular shopping destination. It came as Essex Police planned to place a dispersal order for 48 hours due to an event planned for Southend-on-Sea. A tweet encouraged followers to 'get it' - slang for partying and getting intoxicated, as shown in this video. On Wednesday, Home Secretary Suella Braverman ordered that those responsible for the chaos be 'hunted down' and jailed. She posted a video showing X of police making arrests: We can't allow the kind of lawlessness seen in some American cities to take over the streets of the UK.' Those guilty must be hunted and jailed. I expect nothing less from the @metpoliceuk and have requested a complete incident report.' On X, TikTok prankster Mizzy (right) said he had been arrested and searched on Oxford Street for 'no reason' and released with a dispersal order, despite insisting he had 'nothing to do' with the raid on a video. He had been jailed for posting videos of himself stealing dogs and trespassing in people's homes.

Young content creators are posting videos with titles such as'stab witness prank' as a way to gain notoriety and online success on social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube. The videos are in the same vein and style as those of teenage Mizzy - real name Bacari-Bronze O'Garro, 18, who was jailed for posting videos showing him stealing dogs and trespassing in people's homes. Mizzy's 'pranks' have hit a fork in the road, but it appears that O'Garro is merely a symptom of a larger problem regarding internet 'prank' culture.
