Injecting people with air can cause an embolism. The article may be wrong and this guy could’ve just been stabbing people with syringe however, if there was any kind of injection that was empty meaning air that can and will cause serious issues potentially death.
The influencer posted clips showing him creeping up on passersby and pretending to jab them with a capped syringe - just days before France’s massive Fête de la Musique street festival in June.
I went looking for the information because I was like “you can kill someone so easy that way, wtf?”
Tbf,the last time I have jabbed myself with a needle it had a fucking cap on. I simply fell over against a wall. To make things better it contained some nasty drug that in theory could have hurt me badly,but luckily didn’t.
(Before anyone is concerned about my drug use - I work as a paramedic and the medication in the syringe is one I am highly allergic to…)
Still better than a contaminated one. Wouldn’t recommend both, though.
“inject bystanders with empty syringes”

And getting an infection from the puncture wound.
The article just doesn’t care to tell you that the syringes were capped.
The Sun helpfully includes that important detail.

He didn’t have a needle in the syringes
That’s not actually true.
