Controversial Kick streamer Rangesh "N3on" has found himself facing yet another swatting situation during his latest IRL stream (September 11, 2024). Swatting, for those unfamiliar, is essentially when someone makes a false threat report to the police, leading to a raid on the intended target (usually a live streamer, content creator, or a celebrity of some sort).
The streamer has a history of such situations. The latest occurred today (September 11) during a visit to a spa clinic. At around two hours and 14 minutes into his stream, he noticed a couple of police officers approaching his bodyguard with their guns pointed at him and subsequently cuffing him.

N3on's new security guard gets handcuffed after being swatted during IRL livestream
Kick streamer N3on experienced another disruptive incident when the police were prank-called to his location. The officers even handcuffed the streamer's bodyguard, who was wearing a ski mask outside the salon.
Speaking to one of the officers, the Kick streamer said:
"Bro, we just got swatted. This happens (all the time). I know every cop here. He's (the security guard) good, we got swatted. I'm so sorry. A million per cent it is (a swatting)."

The officer responded by stating that they received a call "from the nail salon," stating that the occupants were held at gunpoint by a man in a ski mask (referring to N3on's bodyguard). He said:
"We got a call from the nail salon that you were held up at gun point, man in a ski mask."
The ski mask was certainly a point of contention among the officers. One of them chimed in, stating:
"Have better bodyguards, make sure they are not dressed like that."
This isn't the first time N3on has been swatted. In July 2024, while the Kick streamer was broadcasting from a rage room, the police were called with a false report of a hostage situation.
Another incident occurred in January 2024 during an IRL livestream at a zoo. One of the staff members discreetly approached N3on, requesting him to stop streaming and leave the premises immediately.
Fortunately for the streamer, in both of these instances, none of his team members were hurt or faced any legal trouble.
