2 teens charged after kicking in door of Maryland home as part of possible TikTok challenge, police say
Two teens are facing charges after police said they kicked in the door of a Maryland home Monday morning in what could be a possible TikTok challenge. Anne Arundel County police responded to the 7900 block of Sutherland Court for a reported burglary around 3:15 a.m. Once on the scene, a homeowner told police that her door was kicked in, and her door frame was damaged. The 14- and 15-year-old boys were found nearby, police said. Shortly after, a second homeowner in the 3500 block of Old Crown Drive reported that the two teens had attempted to kick in their door. Both teens were identified and charged, according to officers. While the crime may seem isolated, Justin Mulcahy, a spokesperson for the Anne Arundel County Police Department, believes it could be part of a nationwide TikTok trend. "It's concerning all the way around," Mulcahy said. "We believe – based on how this was done – that this was potentially a door-kick challenge that's going on nationally." According to Mulcahy, teens across the country are participating in the challenge where they kick in the doors of homes during early morning hours. "Who knows for what reason other than to videotape themselves doing this," Mulcahy added. Mulcahy is urging parents to talk to their kids about the dangers of participating, saying the startling action could escalate into violence or tragedy. "What may seem like a funny prank to a child is not," Mulcahy told WJZ. "And you're infringing on someone's right by being on their property." He emphasized that participants could face criminal charges or homeowners could take action. "There could be a reaction," Mulcahy said. "We want to avoid that. We don't want any violent encounters."

Clip of truck hitting teen in Indonesia misrepresented as 'Bangladeshi driver resisting extortion'
A graphic video of a person being run over by a truck was filmed in Indonesia, contrary to posts claiming it showed the driver resisting an extortion attempt in Bangladesh. According to Indonesian news reports from July 2021, the teenager had been attempting a dangerous TikTok challenge and died from his injuries. "I salute this patriotic and brave driver for killing even one extortionist. I appeal to all the drivers of the country to raze the extortionists in this way." reads part of the Bengali-language caption of a graphic Facebook video posted on July 4, 2025. Viewed more than 740,000 times, the video appears to show a person standing in the middle of the road attempting to stop an oncoming truck with their hands. The truck, however, does not stop and runs over the individual. The same clip was also shared in similar Facebook posts in Bangladesh, where -- according to a task force formed by the interim government -- extortion is deeply entrenched (archived link). There were nationwide protests on July 11 following the murder of a local scrap trader, reportedly because he refused to pay extortion money (archived link). The Bangladesh Nationalist Party, seen as the election frontrunner in polls scheduled for April 2026, has also started taking steps to weed out members allegedly involved in crimes ranging from extortion to rape and murder (archived here and here). The video circulating online, however, was not filmed in Bangladesh. A reverse image search on Google using keyframes from the falsely shared video led to an Indonesian-language news report that included a still from the clip (archived link). The report by local media organisation Warta Kota, published on July 13, 2021, said the incident involved a teenager who sustained serious injuries and it occurred on RE Martadinata Street, in the North Cikarang district of Bekasi Regency (archived link). A subsequent report by the Pos Kota newspaper on July 14, which also contained a screenshot from the video, said the teenager succumbed to his injuries (archived link). According to news outlet Tempo, the group of teens were doing a TikTok challenge dubbed "the grim reaper prank" (archived link). The report said the group had earlier filmed several similar videos before the deadly incident. Elements visible in the falsely shared video, including lamp posts and roadside plant pots, also correspond to Google Street View imagery of RE Martadinata Street (archived link). AFP has debunked other posts that falsely presented clips as having been filmed in Bangladesh here and here.

Boy and girl get nasty shock after kicking in stranger's front door for TikTok challenge
Two teenagers were hit with felony charges after kicking a stranger's front door in for a TikTok challenge. Jeffery Merthie, 15, and Zahmarii Reddick, 13, were arrested in DeBary, near Orlando, on Sunday after they kicked a neighbor's door in. The challenge is similar to the old-fashioned prank of ding-dong-ditch, but instead of knocking, teens are kicking doors in videos which have gone viral on social media. Merthie and Reddick were seen on doorbell footage sneaking up to the house, before slowly turning around with their backs to the door and kicking it several times before running off. Bodycam footage later showed Merthie being placed in cuffs while he stood next to another teen, who was not identified. Both boys told Volusia Sheriff's deputies that they were leaving Reddick's house. 'Where's the girl?' another officer asked. 'We didn't do nothing, I promise you,' the unidentified teen told police. 'I promise you you did,' the officer, who was placing Merthie in cuffs, said. 'Not you, but he did. The door had large chunks of splintered wood and the lock and doorknob was entirely busted off. 'The camera is crystal clear [of] you running up on their front porch and you turn around and kick their front door in... The camera can not be no more clear.' Merthie was picked up by police after they noticed his 'distinctive' shorts, which are multicolored. When asked why they did it, Merthie told them they were 'just being dumb.' 'We weren't responsible, we won't do that no more,' he said. Merthie tried to defend their actions, saying they just kicked the door, but the officer quickly pulled up photos of the broken door on his phone to show the teen. The door had large chunks of splintered wood and the lock and doorknob was entirely busted off. 'That's completely broken in,' he said. 'You know those people could have shot you?' Reddick was taken into custody after her mother allowed officers inside the home to search for the girl. She was taken out in cuffs while her mother yelled at her: 'Never come back to my house again! Let me tell you something, don't ever play with me again!' 'Let me tell you, mom was furious with her daughter after deputies told her what she had been up to,' Sheriff Mike Chitwood wrote in a statement. 'Parents, use this as a reminder to TALK with your kids that this challenge is not harmless and is the dumbest way to end up with a felony charge or dead.' The two teens copped felony burglary charges. It is unclear if they will be charged as adults. Older teens are typically tried for burglary as an adult, according to The Ansara Law Firm. A juvenile burglary charge carries up to 36 months in prison or probation and fines. A standard adult burglary charge carries up to five years in prison or probation and fines up to $5,000.
