In a post shared on TikTok and Instagram on March 1, content creator Runner Kao slammed the dangerous actions of two schoolboys.
Both boys in the post appeared to be wearing St Hilda's Secondary School uniforms.
One boy had another in a chokehold and apparently did not let go until the latter passed out.
It is not known when and where the incident took place other than the fact that Runner Kao was forwarded the video clip of the stunt by one of his followers on March 1.
The content creator did not share the clip he received but showed a couple of screengrabs from it and warned everyone against copying the stunt.
He added that the boy who was being choked tried to make the other boy stop by tapping the latter's arm. However, the boy did not release his grip before the boy he was choking lost consciousness.
Netizens were alarmed by the stunt.
"This is really concerning. More awareness needs to be spread so no one gets seriously hurt. I hope this video reaches the right people and stops others from trying the same thing," read one of the comments.
Another netizen commented: "Another stunt? Even as a Secondary 3 student, I don't think human lives are meant to be toyed with. I play games like Pokémon."
In 2021, the blackout challenge on TikTok gained widespread attention, primarily among children. There were reports of death resulting from the dangerous challenge.
One of the victims was eight-year-old Lalani Erika Renee Walton from Texas in the US. She died on July 15, 2021, as "a direct result of attempting TikTok's blackout challenge".
