Birmingham ground to a halt yesterday as thousands of screaming fans flocked to catch a glimpse of an American YouTube star.
Vlogger James Charles made a 30-second appearance inside Birmingham's Bullring shopping centre causing chaos as screaming fans blocked the floors.
Motorists were forced to ditch their cars and the city was gridlocked for hours as frenzied teenagers rushed to see the Instagram personality.
Worried bosses were even forced to call in extra police and turn off the escalators over fears fans would be crushed as the centre reached full capacity.

And shoppers were forced to abandon their trips while the city's bus system was brought to a standstill up as thousands queued to meet the makeup guru.
The 19-year-old was in the city to cut the ribbon for the grand opening of Morphe Cosmetics, previously only available in London.
Mr Charles rose to fame online doing makeup tutorials in 2015 and has since gathered a following of 12 million YouTube subscribers and 13 million Instagram followers.
This is his first time in the UK, and he only plans to make the one public appearance to open Morphe at the Bullring.
Mr Charles said: 'I'm so beyond excited to be travelling to the UK for my first time ever.
'It's going to be such an amazing time and let's make this meet and greet the biggest we've ever done.'

The make-up artist also met 250 fans who were randomly selected through a ballot.
'But there are so many kids here you can barely see a thing, he's very clever only doing one event and attracting this kind of crowd.
'I think this is what they call hysteria.'
James Pattison, 18, went to the Bullring with girlfriend Amy in the hope of getting a glimpse of Charles.
James said: 'Loads of the girls from our school are obsessed with him, she watches all his YouTube videos.
'We didn't think it would be this busy but it's absolutely crazy.
'We were here early and there was only like four security guards I don't how they thought they could cope.'
Mr Charles announced his arrival in the UK with a social media post in front of a red London telephone box.
Bullring and West Midlands Police have not not responded to requests for a comment regarding the number of police officers who were present at the event.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
