T. rex costume stuns pedestrians in viral prank video
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A video of an Instagram prankster scaring people on the streets of London with a T. rex costume has gone viral.
The compilation video, posted by London-based social media personality Goubtube, shows pedestrians agog as they're confronted by the faux dino.
The clip starts with a man in a cap dashing around a street corner as he’s being chased by the fake dinosaur. When bystanders see what the man is running from, they quickly make a run for it, too.
