In a prank, boy leaps off London tower

London: The UK police on Saturday have chastised the Youtube prankster who needed rescuing after jumping from Tower Bridge because of a dare, saying his ‘stupidity takes some beating’.

Shah Faisal Shinwari leapt off the bridge into the Thames 40-ft below as part of a dare from a subscriber which went horribly wrong, Daily Mail said. The budding actor said, “When I hit the water, I couldn’t move and believed he was going to die.”
