DENVER (KDVR) Video from a Ring doorbell camera in the Sloan’s Lake area is raising eyebrows.

A homeowner believes the video shows two people carrying out a TikTok door kick challenge.

It was quiet at 2 a.m. Tuesday outside the home in the neighborhood, until there was sound of someone trying to break down a door.

Two people with their heads covered can be seen on a Ring doorbell surveillance camera running up the sidewalk and simultaneously kicking the home’s front door.  

On the outside of the door, you can see footprints. But behind the door, you can see real damage.

“When the first person kicked right here, it actually broke this piece that interlocks into the frame of the door and it separated it and broke also the back of the handle of the lock itself,” the homeowner, Jorgen, said.

He says fixing the damage to the door and replacing the frame it will need will cost close to $4,000.

“It’s very disturbing. Very disturbing. You wake up and you see someone has done that. I think it’s very evil. I don’t understand why you would do that to other people,” Jorgen said.

Social media challenges can get out of control and dangerous fast, police and media experts say.

“We’ve had blackout challenges where you know people were asked to hold their breath and do all kinds of just crazy stunts that seem like they’re appropriate or seem like they’re harmless.  But you know (they) can be very fatal with just one wrong turn,” MSU Denver Journalism and Media Production Chair Chris Jennings said.

In Virginia, a teen was allegedly killed by a homeowner carrying out a similar stunt.

In Goodyear, Arizona, the police department is sending warnings to parents about the trend and asking for help solving cases there.

Back near Sloan’s Lake, one homeowner’s hoping the challenge loses steam and the people responsible for the damage are arrested.

Jorgen tells us he’s sharing what happened to him so that more people become aware that this is happening.

He has filed a police report.

Denver police told us today they are asking anyone who sees something like this to report it right away and provide any video you may have captured.
