TikTok star McPlayGT stabbed, leaving him with eight stitches On March 12, 2022, Chen posted a set of chilling photos to Instagram revealing that he had been stabbed outside a bar in New York City after meeting up with his friends. \u201cI had just came back from a penthouse party, I was going to Phebe\u2019s tavern [in New York\u2019s Bowery district] to meet some friends,\u201d Chen told Dexerto in an interview. After arriving at the bar and meeting up with his friends, Chen\u2019s group, which mostly consisted of females, was approached by four males in their mid 20s, who allegedly were catcalling the star\u2019s friends and girlfriend. \u201cThese guys kept on asking for their name, you know, like, where they from, like, what they\u2019re trying to do tonight and catcalling basically,\u201d the TikToker said. According to Chen, Claire Northfield, who is his girlfriend, was sexually harassed and offered $100 by one of the males to leave the bar with him. At approximately 2 A.M. the TikTok star decided to leave with a group of his friends when one of the individuals involved in the earlier altercation at the bar came running behind Chen stabbing him, resulting in a 3-inch open wound. View this post on Instagram \u201cI was bleeding, Like, all, you know, covered in blood,\u201d Chen stated. Chen said that the most frustrating part of the stabbing was that after he had been assaulted, his attacker proceeded to call him a racial slur, turning the situation into a hate crime. The TikToker was then rushed to the hospital where he was met by his family and received a total of eight stitches, and was discharged hours later. He ended the interview by saying, \u201cBe careful of your surroundings, don\u2019t be alone in any areas you are uncomfortable with, always be with a group of people, and keep a positive look on the bad things.\u201d Chen is expected to make a full recovery and is currently healing at his house with his parents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
