This incident is not an isolated occurrence in the realm of IRL streaming. For instance, in June 2023, another Norwegian streamer named Knut encountered a similar situation when he was confronted by an irate individual wielding a knife while streaming in Paris.

On another occasion, German Twitch streamer Sebastian "EinSebastian" had a rather intense encounter when he was confronted by a commuter who mistakenly believed he was recording him.
