April Fool Prank in My Compound Nearly Sparked Violence and Police Intervention

This morning around 11am I heard intense shouting in my compound. My neighbour rushed home after his wife called, claiming she’d been beaten and her leg broken. She even named a man he already had issues with. Before things got out of hand, his wife admitted it was just an April Fool prank. He made her apologise but then threatened the other man, saying, “You’re lucky it was a prank.” Later the man returned with police officers and had both husband and wife arrested. They now must sign an undertaking holding them responsible if anything happens to him. What began as a harmless joke ended with threats, near assault and police involvement. Have you ever seen a prank go this wrong?
