Revealed: 'Argentina fan' rescued by police from crowd of England supporters in London is TikTok 'rage baiter' - AOL

A viral incident involving a self-described “Argentina fan” during England’s World Cup semifinal defeat in London has been linked to a TikTok influencer, according to The Standard. Police intervened in Piccadilly Circus after a young man wearing a Messi shirt was reportedly surrounded by England supporters amid rising tensions following a 2-1 loss to Argentina. Footage circulated online showing officers moving him into a police van “for his own safety,” after chants and aggressive behavior were reported. The Standard says the stunt appears to match TikTok content by Maciej MP, who has 222,000 followers and has previously posted “prank” videos aimed at provoking public reactions. The article notes he shared videos including one captioned “Rage bait successful” and that he has not been confirmed as supporting any specific team, leaving his allegiance unclear.
