Kick streamer Sneako was violently assaulted in downtown Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon, just seconds after making a controversial comment during his live broadcast.
The 27-year-old, whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, was slammed to the ground by an unidentified assailant, punched repeatedly in the face, and sprayed him with mace before fleeing the scene.
In follow-up streams, Sneako displayed a chipped dental filling from the attack and claimed the incident was a “setup.” He quickly recovered, later posting that he is “fine” and immediately resumed streaming.
