On Sunday (27 September), Bushman was waiting for victims outside St George’s Shopping Centre in Fishergate.

Covered head-to-toe in leaves, Bushman was seen standing still in a pot next to a tree before jumping out on unsuspecting passers-by.

The prank was being filmed for new YouTube channel Sugar TV.
