A NOTORIOUS YouTube star who sparked controversy after Tweeting the moment he was kicked off a Delta Airlines flight in Heathrow "for speaking Arabic" is back to offend the masses.

Adam Saleh treated his 1.6million followers to a video titled "ASSAULTING HOMELESS MAN EXPERIMENT GONE WRONG".

In the clip Saleh wanders his hometown of New York searching for the most vulnerable in society to prank them for his own social media kudos.

After selecting his targets, Saleh then pretends to rob his "homeless" pal Jason to find out whether the other homeless witnesses intervene.

The 23-year-old web celeb - who is understood to have a net worth of around $100,000 - then waves a $50 dollar in his target's faces if they "pass the test" and come to Jason's help.

He wrote: "I decided to do a mini social experiment and pretend I'm assaulting Jason to see how other homeless people react".

Saleh is looking for brownie points after he was escorted off a flight from London to New York after 20 other passengers complained about him.

He quickly uploaded a video to Twitter in which he accused airline Delta and its passengers of racism.

He alleged he had been chucked off when a passenger overheard him speaking in Arabic.

But several witnesses later came forward to say that Saleh had been causing a scene and appeared to be trying to get people to react.

After being removed from the flight, Saleh was grounded in the airport and interviewed by police.

He was not charged with any crime and Delta Airlines rebooked him on another flight to New York.

Saleh was previously caught out for faking a video which appeared to  and has posted a number of videos involving pranks on planes.

The vlogger recently claimed to have completed one of the most dangerous airline pranks in history after smuggling himself into the hold of a plane in a suitcase.
He claimed to have checked onto a TigerAir flight from Melbourne to Sydney undetected, although the airline disputed the claims.

Prankster Saleh filmed the entire trip from inside a suitcase and published the video online this week, racking up more than 150,000 views in under 24 hours.

However, the airline wrote a scathing open letter denying his claims which said: "There are a few inconsistencies in your production that don't line up with reality.

"It gets pretty cold at 36,000 feet without any heating. Had you been in the baggage hold, by the time you arrived in Sydney you would have been a popsicle."

TigerAir also said it had "footage of you boarding the aircraft (using your legs)."
