Streamer Vitaly detained by police during livestream

Streamer Vitaly was detained by law enforcement during a live broadcast on the Kick platform. The incident occurred while the influencer was at a cafe, where he was handcuffed and escorted to a police vehicle.

Vitaly later clarified that he was not formally arrested but was the victim of a swatting incident, where an unidentified individual reportedly made a false report involving a firearm. He stated he was detained for approximately 20 minutes before being released.

The incident took place shortly before Vitaly is scheduled to compete in an influencer boxing match against Larry Wheels. The bout, organized by Brand Risk Promotions and promoter Adin Ross, is still expected to proceed despite the legal distraction.
