Troll Station have tweeted their own video of the entire scene, in a studio that is known having a no-phone and no-camera policy.
Founding member Daniel Jarvis, who was previously arrested after a prank backfired, leaving him accused of a bomb hoax, posted a video to his public Facebook account from the studios.
The 27-year-old from Gravesend has also previously caused panic after a fake heist at the National Gallery started a stampede.
At the time, magistrates warned such "warped" stunts could cause fatalities in the panic.

Look, it was harmless, I think. They got what they wanted
In the past, DJ Calvin Harris famously stormed the stage with a pineapple during Jedward’s performance, and comedian Lee Nelson followed suit in 2014 as Stereo Kicks performed.
Speaking on the Xtra Factor, Simon said: “I was saying to someone in the break, ‘Why does this always happen on our shows?’. Look, it was harmless, I think. They got what they wanted.”
A spokesperson for The X Factor confirmed to Express.co.uk that no further action would be taken at this time.
During the situation, the Troll Station louts stormed the stage, grabbing Honey G around the shoulder and stealing her microphone.
