Police are on the hunt for a young man who threw an electric scooter into a river in a bid to get more likes and followers on TikTok.
The video, which has since been removed from the social media platform, is believed to be filmed at the Victoria Bridge in Brisbane.
The clip shows the young man picking up and throwing the scooter off the side of the bridge into the river below for no apparent reason while others watch one, one filming the ordeal.
A large amount of the comments on the video were not positive, with many condemning the actions of the young man.
'Why would you do that?' one wrote.
Another commented: 'Everyone share and get this idiot fined in Brisbane'.
Dozens of reports were made to e-scooter operator Beam, whose scooters are available to hire around the Brisbane city centre.
'We were made aware of the video almost as soon as it was posted, with riders and community members from Brisbane and all over Australia and New Zealand writing in to us, condemning the act of vandalism,' a Beam spokesperson commented
