BRIDGEWATER, MASS. (WHDH) - Bridgewater police launched an investigation into an incident possibly linked to a TikTok challenge late Sunday night.
A person reported to police that while walking in the area of Summer and Grove streets around 10:15 p.m., people in a white sedan and a blue sedan shot at them with a BB-type gun, according to Bridgewater police.
Police say this appears to be linked to a TikTok trend called the “Orbeez Challenge,” where small circular water gel pellets are shot from air-powered pellet guns at people or property.
Several incidents of the “challenge” have been reported throughout the country in recent weeks, including in Concord, New Hampshire.
An investigation remains ongoing.
