Tiktok prankster Mizzy fined for London Overground train stunt

A Tiktok prankster who gained notoriety by invading people’s homes and stealing a woman’s dog has been fined £130 for a train station stunt where he entered the driver’s cab.

Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, 18, who goes by the moniker Mizzy, filmed himself and others as they ran on to the Overground train at Stratford station.

The footage, posted online with the caption “GTA VI in real life” in an apparent reference to video game Grand Theft Auto, shows O’Garro laughing as another person touches the controls of the train.

He then grabs an in-train phone and says: “Hello, can I call the police, there’s people on the train.”

O’Garro was originally charged with endangering the safety of persons conveyed by railway by allegedly “entering a train drivers cab and interfering with the controls and safety equipment” on April 25.

But at Stratford magistrates court last week, the charge was dropped as O’Garro pleaded guilty to a public order offence of using threatening or abusive words or behaviour or disorderly behaviour, causing people harassment, alarm or distress.

He was fined £130 and ordered to pay a £44 victim surcharge and £85 in costs.

O’Garro gained notoriety over a series of online pranks filmed for his social media channels, including a clip where he snatched a woman’s dog.

After invading a family home in east London, he was handed a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order which bans him from filming people without their consent.

O’Garro was then accused of immediately breaking order, in a case that is awaiting a trial.

He sparked further outrage this week with another video appearing to show him entering a stranger’s home.

In a TV interview with Piers Morgan, O’Garro, who lives in Hackney, had declared “UK laws are weak”.
