So far over 200,000 people have watched the clip, and those who were joined in mutual disgust took to Twitter, making the topic trend online. Users have branded Pepper 'horrible', 'obnoxious', and even 'absolute scum'.
Sam Pepper's video is THE most disgusting thing I have seen in ages. Trash.

The sam pepper "prank" is hardly what I would call a prank. It's a violation of that poor boy, the emotions were so raw. He was traumatised

In light of recent terror attacks and violence worldwide, it's clear to see why many believe the video is in poor taste and are calling for his account to be deleted. Some have even claimed that the prank was illegal and Sam could potentially be prosecuted. Last year the YouTube celebrity came under fire for a video that masqueraded as a 'social experiment' but essentially involved Pepper groping women on the street whilst asking for directions. After mass upset over the video, it was removed by YouTube and Pepper faced allegations of sexual harassment.
