A geologist on a field trip on a Scots island spotted the Google Street View car – and pretended to attack his colleague with a hammer.

Gideon Futerman says he was on the North of the Isle of Lewis in Scotland when the pair played the prank.

They spotted the mapping camera and decided to create a “masterpiece”.

The camera caught him pretending to hit his friend with “a geological hammer”.
