.htaccess unnecessary Pinterest arrays redirection to actual URL

How Can I redirect this pattern

example.com/fruits/7285/good-slug","id":"33b4","favicon_link":"https:/i.pinimg.com/fa/9.png

to this:

example.com/fruits/7285/good-slug

Tried:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^(fruits/\d+/[\w-]+). /$1 [R=301,L,NC,NE]

But it redirects too much.

Pinterest referring such URL(abc.com/fruits/123/slug) by adding some arrays after my URL, I do not know how, so I need to redirect to my actual one.

You may use this redirect rule with a possessive quantifier:

RewriteRule ^(fruits/\d+/[\w-]++). /$1 [R=301,L,NC,NE]

[\w-]++ matches longest possible string matching a word or hyphen characters without any backtracking.

On the other hand ^(fruits/\d+/[\w-]+). will cause a redirect loop because regex engine backtracks to allow a match of a single character after [\w-]+ pattern.
