Man in viral George Mason pipe-burst video shares story after turning himself in to police

ARLINGTON, Va. (7News) — Houston, Texas, native Fawaz Odunbaku didn’t think a night of fun with friends would end with a damaged water pipe in Northern Virginia, nor did he think the incident would go viral.

Video shared by the George Mason University Police Department earlier this week showed the 21-year-old attempting a pull-up on a water pipe in its Arlington, Va., parking garage before it burst, spreading water and scattering his friend group. Moments before, the group, who are also Texas residents, had been dancing and laughing.
