An “irresponsible” influencer has landed himself in hot water with the cops after dangling over a crocodile-infested river by one arm.

Gerónimo Arias, 21, known online as Gero Arias, had planned to perform 238 pull-ups with the dangerous reptiles lurking several feet below.

But the influencer, who has 7.6m followers across Instagram and TikTok, didn’t get to finish the task.
