The World’s Strongest Man 2017 winner, Eddie Hall, was ‘arrested’ as a part of a staged stunt a month ago over a TikTok video. Reportedly, during the stunt, the Beast ran over a car with his tanker, leading to his staged arrest. Those who follow him on social media are well aware of the new tank that he owns. A video was uploaded on Hall’s social media, sharing footage about him taking over a car after its owner abused him.

As the car owner called the police, they tried to find the cause behind Hall’s rage and eventually arrested him. The video from Hall’s channel caught public attention, and his fans wasted no time talking about the matter.

Hall, 34, recently posted a staged stunt video on YouTube where his ‘anger issues’ were caught on camera. Dressed in a red sweater and wearing a snow hat, the former strongman was indeed enjoying his way to the gym. Evidently, when he was driving the tank, a guy with a car suddenly showed up and cut him up. He stopped to avoid the impending accident.

Karen, the car owner, on the other hand, showed disrespect and abused him by showing illicit signs. Soon, one thing led to another, and Hall decided to teach him a lesson by crushing his BMW car with his tank.

The person called the police for help, and after getting confirmation from the witnesses, the cops chased Hall to his home. The strongman confessed to them, “Well basically I was going to the gym, MClub gym just down the road. And as I was pulling in, this guy cut me off, gave me the middle finger, swearing at me, called me a load of names. And then I might have accidentally ran over his car.”

Despite his statement, the three policemen decided to arrest him and talk to him at the station. They charged him with “dangerous driving“, “Criminal damage,” and “hit and run.” And him saying, “You’re saying I’ve ran over a car. I’m saying I haven’t,” fell on deaf ears. Evidently, he didn’t have time to explain the reason for his actions, and the police handcuffed him and drove him to the police station.
