"I fell for it!": Boys in blue crash gender reveal party
One Sydney couple have taken their friends and family by surprise with their high-stakes gender reveal, where the father-to-be was apparently put under arrest by two police officers.
Mina Ibrahim revealed their elaborate prank with a video posted to his TikTok account. Mina’s video begins with footage of the moment of his ‘arrest’, before it cuts to the TikToker at a later date, explaining that “that’s me being arrested at my baby’s gender reveal.”
He goes on to share the full video, and a promise that the ending will answer any questions his viewers may have.
In the clip, the parents-to-be can be seen talking to two uniformed NSW ‘police officers’, guests all around them, with Mina asking for onlookers to get their phones out. He then pushes one of the officers, telling them to leave, and both grab him before attempting to handcuff him, while his pregnant partner attempts to intervene.
As family members rush to assist, one of the officers calls for everyone to calm down, then delivers news that takes them all by surprise - and delight - by telling them, “it’s a baby girl.”
“So it was the cops who announced to everyone that I was having a baby girl,” present-day Mina informed his audience, before noting that there was a fake balloon inside to throw their guests off the surprise scent.
The prank attracted thousands of views online, with many flocking to his comments section to share their congratulations with the parents-to-be.
Others, while thrilled for them and their happy news, were open about their concern, having fallen for the trick right along with the couple’s loved ones.
“I fell for it and I was worried for your wife!!!,” one confessed. “I was freaking out hahahah you got me”.
“I was worried too haha … you scared me,” another said.
“Omygosh! I was ready to sue them coppas with you!” came one response, “but congratsss! What a way to reveal!”
One other simply wanted to know if the entire situation was even allowed, believing that impersonating the police may not be.
And another had simply been suspicious from the very start, noting “Broooo the whole time I was like … something ain’t right! He’s not carrying his gun”.
