Sneako chips tooth after being punched during New York livestream

Controversial livestreamer Sneako was assaulted during a livestream in New York City on Tuesday, April 14, after a man wearing a purple T-shirt and grey hat punched him. The incident was captured on video and has gone viral, leaving viewers questioning what triggered the confrontation. The motive remains unclear, though the streamer later confirmed he did not sustain serious injuries but chipped his tooth.


Shortly after the footage circulated, the manosphere creator addressed the incident on X. “Im fine we got it handled. Going live again in an hour for Professor Jiang X Dave Smith,” he wrote.



About an hour later, Sneako returned to livestreaming and described the altercation, calling it “random.”
“I got hit, you can see it in the video. I got hit a few times, I get up and immediately [he] pulls out mase and runs away. This doesn’t make sense that it was a random person,” he explained.


He also updated about his injury, said that he did not get knocked out, but his tooth got chipped.

The incident follows another heated exchange involving the streamer earlier this month in New York City. During that encounter near Union Square, a bystander objected to being filmed without consent after Sneako was approached by a fan for a photo. The disagreement escalated briefly off-camera.

“I don’t want myself on your camera. Delete that shit,” said the man, with his girlfriend stepping in between him and his cameraman Kozu. “He’s filming me, he’s not filming you,” Sneako answered. “I’m a YouTuber, I’m just making a video.”

Sneako then explains that he’s not recording but rather livestreaming on YouTube. The explanation seems to satisfy the angry man but not without a final warning.
