Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, aka Sneako, a right-wing content creator known for ties to Andrew Tate, was violently assaulted during a live stream on a crowded public sidewalk. The shocking attack, caught on multiple cameras, showed a sudden sucker-punch followed by a blast of pepper spray before the suspect fled.
Sudden Blow During Livestream
Sneako, streaming on Kick and deep in debate over masturbation, was distracted by his phone when a stranger struck him with a powerful right hook to the head. Moments earlier, he had said on camera, “put your life force into a sock? Yeah, you deserve to be publicly executed.” Whether the attacker heard the remark is unknown. The punch knocked Sneako to the pavement, his camera capturing chaos as passersby shouted and tried to break up the scuffle. Crew member Waze and others pulled the attacker away, but before Sneako could recover, the assailant sprayed pepper spray directly in his face and fled amid stunned pedestrians and traffic.
Chipped Tooth and Pepper Spray
Sneako ended the stream abruptly but returned live an hour later to update fans. He revealed he suffered a chipped tooth from the punch and was left temporarily blinded by mace—his first experience with it.
“I was confused and thought it might be something else like construction,” said Sneako. “Then I realised I was actually being attacked.”
Streamer Claims Attack Was a Setup
Rejecting the idea that it was random street violence, Sneako claimed the assault was planned. He pointed to the attacker’s immediate use of pepper spray and total lack of verbal warning. Even more suspicious was a group of around five people who emerged from a nearby building right after the attack.
“That had to be a setup. I really don’t think this was a random coincidence. Someone paid a guy to do that,” he insisted. “It didn’t feel like a typical random street thing.”
Strong Words, But Staying Defiant
Sneako, no stranger to controversy, ended his broadcast telling followers, “I’m fine, we got it handled. Going live again in an hour… I’ll handle everything, so don’t worry about me.” The violent assault drew immediate attention, with multiple videos spreading online capturing the shocking incident in daylight on a busy street.
