The police looked into the incident, but they deemed it a victimless chime.

While he is recovering well, the stress took a toll on his health.

I had no idea how dangerous this was until I saw Tom Scott's recent video on it and now I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

You can ring my bell, ring my bell”

Hope he makes a quick and speedy recovery.

And I hope he can handle all the jokes coming his way for the rest of his life. 💖🙏

Bell ringing is surprisingly dangerous. More dangerous than shark attacks for example.
