In one post, he writes: ‘Let’s see how long it takes for me to be caught,’ and on Thursday he posted: ‘Still out here.’
Manning’s group, which references a popular TV show in which contestants must outrun ‘Hunters’, boasts more than 330 members.
The short man, who stands 4ft 9ins tall, also posts to TikTok using the account name ‘Get Shorty 4.9’.
In one video, he walks past a police station and says: ‘I shouldn’t really be here, should I?’
