WATCH: Tank 'smashes through wall in Dubai mall'

DUBAI: A video showing a tank smashing through a wall in Dubai Mall during a shoot is going rounds on the social media.

Contrary to what appears, the footage did not cause any damage as it seems to have been part of a stage production.

The video was posted online on Wednesday December 14, 2016, and the tank was also recorded driving along Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Boulevard with a police escort.

According to Gulf News, it was actually part of the British car show The Grand Tour, which includes Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May (aka ex-Top Gear people).

The Dubai Mall shoot forms part the finale of their new show and fans were invited to take part.
