A man filmed swinging a baseball bat out of the window of his SUV has landed in jail. Noida Police arrested 18-year-old Azad after footage of the stunt went viral online, according to Samachar Nama.

The video, later shared on Twitter by Uttar Pradesh Police, shows the man driving a Mahindra Thar in Noida Sector 24. He was seen swinging a baseball bat in the video – a stunt that eventually landed him in jail amid growing crackdowns on dangerous road stunts.

Sharing the footage on Twitter, UP Police warned others against trying similar stunts and announced that the man had been put behind bars while his Mahindra SUV had been seized. Their video also included a clip of the man apologizing for the stunt and promising never to repeat the act.

“We will hunt you if you perform stunts on the road. Your vehicle will be confiscated and you’ll be locked up,” the police tweeted.
