An 18-year-old in Florida, USA, was arrested on Sunday 13 January for giving wedgies to strangers in the street and videoing his prank to put on his YouTube page.

Charles Ross, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, is "known to go around Manatee County and create situations in order to harass and annoy people".

On this particular occasion he was hanging around a cinema with a friend, who was filming his antics, and when he spotted a victim "he began grabbing people by their pants and pulling them up causing discomfort".

One of Ross's victims decided to press charges.

"Several other victims came forward but were too embarrassed to want to press charges," the police report stated.

Ross was arrested for battery and released on $750 (£407) bail. He will appear before court on 14 February.
