Man's silly prank on neighbour's video doorbell leaves them 'fearing for their lives'

It can often be quite difficult to break the ice with new neighbours, no matter how sociable you are. While some people choose heartfelt gestures like bringing a cake or flowers, one man has chosen a more unusual approach to introducing himself. In a bid to lighten the mood with the new residents next door, the man chose to play a prank on his new neighbours that took a turn for the worst after they threatened to call the police.

The man's wife has been left seething over her husband's antics, and took to social media to share the ordeal. Posting on Mumsnet, the woman reveals that her partner gave their neighbours a terrible fright that left them "fearing for their lives". The ordeal started when the man behaved foolishly in front of his neighbours' video doorbell - and everything has been caught on camera.
