Florida police warn public on the dangers of In My Feelings dance challenge

Police have warned of the dangers of a new viral dance challenge after a man in Florida was knocked down by an oncoming car while attempting the “In My Feelings” dance challenge.

The Drake‑inspired craze has fans jumping out of cars — moving or otherwise — to do the dance, which is also called the Keke Challenge.

Jaylen Norwood from Boynton Beach in Florida is seen exiting the car as the song plays. He starts dancing on the road but then a car comes in his direction and hits him.

Norwood said that he planned the whole thing out adding that he was gonna do the dance and then jump on the hood of the car and continue the dance but it came too fast and he slipped on the oil and that’s why he got hit by the car.

Thousands of social media users, including celebrities such as Will Smith, have been posting footage of themselves dancing to the hit song.

While Norwood managed to escape with a few minor scrapes, Florida police are warning someone will be seriously injured or killed if people keep taking part in the challenge.

In Abu Dhabi, three social media stars were arrested after officials said their dancing “endangered lives, offended public morals and violated the traffic law”.
