A London prankster has shot to viral Internet fame by setting up a date on a moving train, leaving his co-passengers completely bemused. But even as Elvin Mensah has garnered praise for his prank, it was his co-passenger's reaction - the one he set the date up for - that drew the loudest cheers.
In the video, Elvin Mensah is seen setting up a table inside a moving train, complete with a red rose in a vase. He serves food and places two bottles of beverages on the table, as the woman sitting next to him watches on in amusement.
How does she react when the table is all set up? Watch the video to find out:

He has defended his pranks, telling the Metro: "Hundreds of thousands of women and several media pages on the internet didn't see it as harassment. They got the joke.
"The passengers on the train and the lady who was my "date" were evidently amused by the prank so that's saying something."
