The One Where Ross Doesn’t Turn Up To Court.

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Abdulah Husseni after he failed to turn up to court on Tuesday morning despite being issued a summons.

Husseni became a viral sensation back in September when a video of his alleged thievery was shared online by the Blackpool Police. That video has since been deleted, but at the time, audiences noticed that Husseni looks… exactly like Ross from Friends, played by David Schwimmer.

The man’s notoriety only rose even further when Schwimmer got in on the joke, and shared a video of himself appearing to steal beer from a supermarket in New York City.

This is still one of our favourite moments of the year.

But back in the real world, Husseni is in trouble, and this morning Judge Jane Goodwin ordered an arrest warrant for the 36-year-old, who has an address in Slough.
