A terrifying real-life “chainsaw man” was arrested after a wild 2 AM stand-off with police captured on TikTok.
Living downtown in a big city has its pros and cons. While you might be close to all sorts of amenities and stores, you can also get woken up by wild chainsaw-wielding men.
That’s exactly what happened in Omaha, Nebraska when a TikToker was woken up by a man revving up a chainsaw as he walked down the street in the dead of night.
In the footage, ‘ethaneharrison’ filmed from his apartment as the man let his chainsaw lie on the ground as he walked forward, sawing into the road before running into an apartment complex.

A few moments later, the TikToker filmed as multiple police cars pulled up with their sirens on.
“Classic hostage situation,” he captioned that portion of the video. Eventually, cops entered the building and walked out with the now-handcuffedchainsaw manand escorted him toward the back of a vehicle.
Users in the comments were amazed by the footage and praised the TikToker for filming the whole situation, which has since been viewed over four million times.
“Kudos to the camera man who documented start to finish,” one wrote.
“The weirdest part for me was when he casually opened the door like nothing crazy was happening,” another joked.
The clip also surfaced onRedditwhere posters were amazed at how many officers showed up to deal with the chainsaw man.
“They sent the whole police department?” one remarked.
It’s not clear what the man was charged with or if he’s back on the street, but that hasn’t stopped ethaneharrison from continuing todocument weird happeningsgoing on outside his building.
