    Detectives are hunting a middle-aged man who is slapping High Street shoppers in his town if they SNEEZE.

    In what Cumbria Police admit is 'very unusual behaviour', the man first smacked a woman round the head after she sneezed in Carlisle on Monday.

    Then on Tuesday, officers believe the same man launched a second attack on a frail pensioner who also had a bout of the sniffles.

    In that shocking incident an 82 year-old woman who had just sneezed was slapped over the head in broad daylight at 11.30am in Scotch Street, Carlisle.
    The force have now asked for anyone with any information about, or who witnessed, the two related incidents to contact them.

    They have been informed about the first attack by witnesses - but have yet to trace the first female victim.

    However the force said they are investigating two head-slapping incidents - and believe they are related crimes.

    “It is very unusual behaviour, and will have left his victims feeling confused and upset.”

    There's nowt as queer as folk, that's for sure.

    Safe to say I've never been tempted to slap someone for sneezing.

    I wonder if they covered their face when they sneezed, or if they were totally unjustified attacks :P

    Yes, he's in the UK, but just in case, I checked the 'trivial things that annoy you' threads, in case we can play our part in tracking him down.

    No can do, Guv.

    It's their own fault for not wearing a coat and cap in the icy mornings.

    I wonder if he's the same guy who slaps people when they drink a can of Tango?

    If they identify a potential culprit , he should be a-choo in for conviction.

    yep but I supposed they should've held it in until they got home! Or perhaps just stayed at home in case they had the need to sneeze :P

    Reminds me of this tweet I saw yesterday.

    While unprovoked violence is wrong, I did cackle for about 2 minutes straight.

    My opinion of this man varies depending on whether or not these people were covering their mouths when they sneezed.

    Peoples morals have really gone to fcuk these days, I mean slapping people for sneezing, disgraceful behaviour. Good to see the scarce police resources are being put to good use on a worthwhile cause

    He's not funny any more. Pranks have gone stale, and he's a total attention/like whore.

    "Oh look how great I am giving a burger to this homeless person. Did you get all that on camera? Oh good, you did. Now fuck off you homeless tramp!"

    Taken the hat prank is very funny.

    Found it boring. All I could hear was his stupid laugh, nobody really reacted either. He's just annoying now IMO. Unliked his page. I liked his earlier videos though.
