According to a statement by the Metropolitan Police, Mizzy was arrested following an investigation on the "suspicion of causing public nuisance" and added that he remained in custody. The arrest comes on the heels of his last prank in which he walked into a stranger's home uninvited in London, causing a mass backlash against the teenager.

According to British influencer Oil London, Mizzy surrendered to the law enforcement authorities and is being held at the Bethnal Green Police Station. Chief Superintendent James Conway of the Central East Command Unit said:

"'I do not underestimate the widespread upset, distress and concern that these videos caused."

In his recent video, the TikToker is seen harassing a Jewish man who looks distraught.
