GIG HARBOR, Wash. — Deputies issued a warning Monday, saying a so-called prank circulating on social media is anything but funny.
According to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO), at 3:35 a.m. on Saturday, a man went up to a Gig Harbor home near Lake Chalet on 43rd Ave, then forcefully kicked the front door several times.
A surveillance camera recorded the suspect running away.
“I hear a bang, bang, bang — three loud bangs, on my front door,” the homeowner told deputies.
The kicks broke the door frame and caused about $2,000 of damage. (Pierce County Sheriff’s Office)
The kicks broke the door frame and caused about $2,000 in damage.
Deputies believe the incident stemmed from what’s known as the TikTok “door kick challenge.”
The man ran off with two other suspects. The PCSO described them as “grown men.”
Investigators are asking anyone who recognizes the suspect to contact the PCSO.

“This may be fun and games, but sadly, people have died from doing this TikTok challenge,” the PCSO said in a blotter post.
