Did the "Call 911 now!" sample in Skrillex's "First of the Year (Equinox)" come from a YouTube video?

Question

In Skrillex's song "First of the Year (Equinox)" (listen on Spotify), there is a sample of someone shouting, "Call 911 now!".

I've heard that this sample was taken from a YouTube video of some teenagers harassing a woman until she tried to call the police. Is this true?

Dunno, but the "Yes, OH MY GOD!" from Scary Monsters came from a YouTube video of a girl stacking cups, so it's entirely possible he used the same medium for that sample too. — Johnny Bones, Mar 09 '15 at 01:18

After some quick gewgulls, I'd say the answer is yes.

BTW, as referenced above, here's the Scary Monsters original sample:
