12 year old injured in Tik-Tok stunt in Zurich

A 12-year-old boy was seriously injured during a stunt by a Tiktoker in the China Garden in Zurich.

The social media star, known as Oracle, had announced that it will rain money over the area on Saturday and hundreds had turned up.

A drone appeared and dropped CHF 24,000 in 10 franc notes. 

Zurich police say the boy was injured by a sharp object in the frenzy to grab the cash.

An investigation is underway.
