Gibson appears to be taking revenge on the funnyman, who was one of many people that mercilessly mocked his recent tearful meltdowns over a bitter custody battle and feud with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
When police arrived at the scene, however, they were assured the 'hostage situation' was all part of an elaborate prank that Blackson was in on, reports TMZ.
In addition to the video posted on Gibson's Facebook page, several clips were uploaded to Blackson's Instagram account.
"Shit is funny, until it ain't funny no more," Gibson taunts Blackson in the video.
"You catch a n**ga going through some personal shit with my daughter - at what point were you going to say, 'I'm doing to much'? How are you going to be on my back, on some funny shit, while I'm in the middle of a tragedy?"
Following the intensity of Gibson's other recent videos, in which he has openly wept and caused concern for his mental wellbeing, many online viewers fell for the 'joke'.
"We can never know when this mf playing or being serious," one person wrote.
Said another: "He was definitely doing way too much though and going too far. I just hope he doesn't go back there."
Gibson was recently granted joint custody of his daughter, ending a nasty court case, but the actor is refusuing to back down from his feud with The Rock.
