The University of Southern California has sued two YouTubers over a series of “panic-inducing” pranks the pair staged during university lectures and recorded for their YouTube channel, the lawsuit says.

A Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge issued a temporary restraining order Friday, April 8, that bans Ernest Kanevsky and Yuguo Bai from campus and other university-owned buildings because of their involvement in the YouTube stunts, according to City News Service. The men are not students at the university, which is located in Los Angeles.
