A 36 year old man who looks like Friends star David Schwimmer has failed to appear at court to face charges of theft and fraud.
Abdulah Husseni from Slough was arrested after a CCTV image of a man who looks like the actor was shared online. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
The story about his initial arrest went viral after David Schwimmer hilariously responded the story. After Blackpool police posted a picture of his lookalike with the caption: "Do you recognise this man? We want to speak to him in relation to a theft at a Blackpool restaurant on the 20th September", David responded with this video and the hashtag #itwasntme
Officers, I swear it wasn't me.
As you can see, I was in New York.
To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation.#itwasntme pic.twitter.com/EDFF9dZoYR— schwim (@DavidSchwimmer) October 24, 2018
