Streamer confronted by man holding knife during IRL stream in Paris KnutTwitch streamer Knut was approached by a man appearing to be carrying a knife during a late-night IRL stream in Paris. IRL streams have become increasingly popular over the last couple of years on Twitch. Although, despite them being proven to be considerably dangerous, with streamers frequently being robbed, harassed, and even threatened for their lives, it certainly doesn\u2019t deter creators from doing them. In a recent live stream after attending TwitchCon Paris, streamer Knut was approached by a man on the street who was concerned they were being filmed, who also appeared to be carrying a weapon. Knut approached by man with knife in IRL Paris stream While walking back to his hotel late at night, the 34-year-old was confronted by a man who turned and began to follow Knut and his group as they briefly passed by. \u201cWhat is this bro?\u201d the man can be heard asking the streamer, questioning why he\u2019s holding a camera. \u201cTwitch,\u201d Knut replied. The streamer started to de-escalate the situation, explaining to the dubious man that he was only filming himself. \u201cNo, no, myself. That\u2019s why I\u2019m turning\u2026 no I\u2019m not filming you, no.\u201d As the two parted ways, Knut explained to his viewers that he was only filming himself, and pointed the camera in the other direction as he noticed the man looming behind. \u201cI wasn\u2019t filming him, I was pointing it at myself until he came up,\u201d he explained. A couple of minutes later in the stream, Knut revealed that the man actually had a weapon concealed. \u201cThat guy was one of those brain-dead dumbasses. I\u2019m not sure what he was even trying to do, \u2018are you filming everyone\u2019 when I was walking like this on purpose.\u201d He added: \u201cI\u2019m a master of de-escalating situations. He was trying to be threatening, he was for sure looking for danger. And he was showing off he also had a weapon, did you see that? In the package he was holding in his hand\u2026 a knife.\u201d Thankfully, the streamer and his friends all made it back to their hotel safely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
