This guy's misjudged tweet about Brussels provoked a lot of mocking on Twitter

He has since deleted it.

As Belgium deals with the aftermath of yesterday's attacks, a guy on Twitter posted this baffling tweet describing how he had stopped a random Muslim woman in Croydon and asked her to 'explain Brussels'.

As you can imagine, the online reaction was swift, brutal and funny with hundreds of people taking him to task - so much so that Croydon is currently trending.

Confronted a rasta yesterday, asked them to explain who shot the sheriff. They said "I did". A Marley mouthed reply.

Confronted an Irish man in Croydon. Asked him to explain Mrs Browns Boys. He said “Nothing to do with me”. A mealy mouthed reply.

(we are sorry about that though)

I confronted Shaggy yesterday in Croydon. Asked him to explain creeping with the girl next door. He said "wasn't me". A mealy mouthed reply.

I didn't confront a Muslim woman in Croydon. I didn't ask her to 'explain Brussels'. Why? Because that would be f****** ridiculous. Jackass.

Doyle has since deleted the tweet but as we all know once you've put something on the internet, it's there for ever. At one point, he said he was joking.

But then he confirmed the incident did indeed happen but that he wasn't 'threatening'.

Good to know, Matthew.
