A man performing daring stunts while selling tissues at a busy intersection in Batam, Indonesia, has caught the attention of both motorists and netizens, with many expressing shock at the lengths people go to make a living.
The video, uploaded on Instagram, shows the man performing acrobatics in the middle of the road while cars and motorcycles are stopped at a red light.
Long stick performance
In the footage, the man can be seen performing with a long stick, skillfully twirling and hurling it with style and speed, captivating the attention of nearby road users.
He even manage to do a one-handed handstand on the road while doing trick with the stick.
