Spectators at the U.S. Open witnessed more than just an intense quarterfinal match between Nick Kyrgios and Karen Khachanov on Tuesday night.
The event has already proven a great place to spot celebrities—even if they're mistaken for someone else.
YouTube star JiDion was sitting in the second row during Tuesday night's match when he attempted to pull off one of his infamous pranks by getting a haircut.
The prank can be seen in the video below.

Fellow attendees can be seen in the video looking around in disbelief.
Security was alerted and JiDion and his barber were escorted from the venue shortly after.
Twitter users chimed in with their thoughts.
Some believed the ejection was warranted as JiDion was out of line and inconsiderate of others in attendance.

Most did agree, however, JiDion was out to get attention.

Perhaps JiDion chose the U.S. Open as his new target site because he was permanently banned from Wimbledon after blowing an airhorn during a quarterfinal match back in July.
This is not the first time JiDion used a professional sporting event as a personal barbershop. On March 25, he opted for a fourth quarter court-side cut at a Timberwolves home game against the Dallas Mavericks.
We have to wonder where JiDion will get his next wild hair across his... head.
