Watch the moment police arrest TikToker for 'bothering' King's Guard and horse

This is the moment a TikToker was arrested for shoving his microphone under the nose of a King's Guard horse outside Buckingham Palace.

The prankster, better known by his TikTok username ymusa18, carried out his latest stunt outside the Household Cavalry Museum where he also confronted members of the public who vocally made their disgust known. Several angles of the incident have been widely shared online and show the prankster approaching the guardsman as tourists took photos on Thursday.

In a video titled "interviewing the Royal Guard and his horse Gone Wrong," the TikToker can be seen holding up a microphone to the horse before asking for its name. Throughout the clip the guardsman continued to ignore the prankster. Guards are generally not allowed to speak to the public, but in some circumstances they can shout - such as if someone is obstructing them. Their discipline attracts admiration and curiosity from tourists who come to visit London.

The TikToker filmed himself shoving a microphone under the horse's nose

The prankster was filmed by a friend, who captured the moment a tourist hit out at the prankster's behaviour. "Stop being so God-damn rude," the man said. "**** off, you rude *******." Another bystander tried to cover the lens in a bid to disrupt the video, according to MailOnline. The TikToker later launched into a rant, which attracted the attention of two police officers, one of whom was seen as being armed with a sub-machine gun.

The male officer then pushed the TikToker back to the gates and sternly shouted: "Get back." Shortly afterward the prankster could be heard saying: "I didn't do ****, did you not see what happened, mate? I'm calm, I'm calm, no need to grab my neck bro." The officer then told the TikToker he was being arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and led him through the museum's gates. In his own video, the prankster could be seen flashing a grin at the camera.

The TikTok prankster has unsuccessfully tried to attract tens of thousands of followers

The Mirror has contacted the Ministry of Defence for comment. Tiktoker ymusa18 has previously shared videos where he has irritated members of the public. In one video he could be seen touching random people on London Underground escalators. Videos where he climbed the gates of Buckingham Palace and sitting on the barrier outside No.10 Downing Street have attracted hundreds of thousands of views. Despite the large viewership on some of his videos, the prankster has fewer than 6,000 followers.
