When he went live again, Sneako described the attack as seemingly random. He said he was struck multiple times and then watched the person pull out mace and run.
He noted the blows were visible in the video and reiterated that he was okay. The streamer emphasized that he planned to continue his scheduled content.
Previous confrontation in Union Square
This was not Sneako’s first tense encounter in the city this month. Earlier, he clashed with a man upset about being recorded near Union Square.
A fan had approached for a photo before an off-camera moment unfolded. Sneako’s cameraman, identified as Kozu, briefly filmed nearby pedestrians, which sparked the dispute.
Exchange with bystander
The man demanded his image be removed while his girlfriend stepped between him and the camera. Sneako explained he was a YouTuber and that he was livestreaming.
After the clarification, the man appeared to calm down but issued a final warning. The earlier disagreement highlighted tensions around public filming in the area.
