The lighthearted prank turned the scene from tense to funny in seconds, and the officers couldn’t help but smirk at his over-the-top antics.
The internet has since blown up with reactions, with viewers calling it “the funniest fake escape ever” and praising the man for diffusing the moment with humor.
