Influencer wannabe who filmed himself pouring a bucket of canine excrement and oil over subway passengers together with a father and daughter is charged with assault
A wannabe influencer who recorded himself pouring a bucket of dog faeces and oil over subway passengers has been charged with assault.
Alarming footage shows the self-styled prankster, who goes by YaNike, dropping the foul mixture on the heads of his victims before making a quick getaway.
The Brussels YouTuber posted videos of his revolting so-called jokes online in a bid to grow his social media following.
But, rather than catapulting him to fame, YaNike’s disgusting pranks landed him on the wrong side of the law and he will now have to answer for his actions in court.
In one clip a father and his young daughter were covered in a repulsive concoction containing excrement, oil, and beer as they rode the subway in Brussels.
As they sit side by side, YaNike appears behind them with a metal bucket and empties the stomach-turning content over their heads before fleeing through the carriage doors as they close.
As the footage continues the shocked father and his daughter, who looks no older than eight, jump up astonished at what has happened.
Before the clip closes a sign flashes up urging watchers to ‘Abonne Toi’, or ‘subscribe’.
A second clip shows YaNike tipping another bucket full of the nauseating liquid over a man sitting by himself.

Police had seized YaNike, charged under his initials Y.D., in January last year (2024) after complaints from the Brussels STIB metro operators.
He was jailed six months ago for breaching bail conditions and is now expected to go on trial within weeks.
A prosecutors’ office spokesperson told local media on 25th March: ‘Videos of these events were posted on social networks, with the aim of getting as many likes as possible.
‘The investigation into the man has been completed.
‘He appeared last week in front of the Council Chamber in Brussels, which decided to refer him to the correctional court.’
Train operators STIB said: ‘It is intolerable to harm our customers, who find themselves humiliated.’
Despite his desperate effort for ‘likes’, YaNike’s content flopped and his videos got him less than 300 followers on YouTube and Instagram.
