Crawly, a social media "star" of unclear origin (as, depending on sources, he is said to be Belarusian, Ukrainian or Russian), was recently recorded alongside several teenagers wearing cardboard boxes over their heads as they jumped on parked cars, causing visible damage.

The incident has prompted widespread criticism online, with many Polish users demanding authorities take more decisive action against the influencer, who has long been known for his disruptive pranks and causing chaos in shopping malls to gain attention on the internet.

Nad tiktokerem zawisły czarne chmury, ale nic sobie z tego nie robi. W nowych filmikach szaleje w Polsce z muzykiem Oliverem Tree.

In response to the video, Warsaw Police confirmed that they are “taking steps to determine whether the organized event in Warsaw violated any laws” as, according to services, the vandalized cars were initially brought in on the trailers and also driven away on them.

This is not Crawley’s first brush with controversy in Poland. The influencer, known for his disruptive pranks, gained notoriety for a series of stunts performed while dressed as a green gnome. In Warsaw’s popular Złote Tarasy shopping center, his actions, including crawling through public spaces with a group of fans, have led to increasing complaints from employees and visitors.
