Men dressed as mannequins frighten passersby in Beirut 

A hilarious video has emerged of two men dressed as mannequins scaring people in the streets of Beirut, Lebanon. 

The footage, shot on October 31 by collective HowAboutBeirut, shows the men standing still, pretending they are clothes displays outside a shop. 

Each time someone walks past them they move, triggering all kinds of surprised reactions.

One woman almost fell over she was so shocked by the encounter.

Alex Stifler and Jad Khawandi are the comedic duo behind HowAboutBeirut, and they share their prankster videos on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram.

Their tagline is: ‘Basically f*****g with people on the streets of Beirut’ and ‘giving people heart attacks.’

Commenting on their Facebook page, Moustafa Chouraiki approvingly wrote: ‘Good one guys! What I love about your vids is they are funny and somehow the prank is light on the people you don’t overdose it and kill the people!’

This man was initially shocked and incredulous at the suddenly mobile mannequins, but he took a closer look and realised it was a prank while he walked past
