A popular TikTok streamer Malik Ambersley, who is popularly known for his viral NPC (non-playable character) streams featuring Miles Morales cosplay from Spiderman, has found himself in potential legal trouble. The TikToker was seen engaging in a fight while he was on stream (August 9, 2024). Footage depicted Malik rushing towards an unnamed individual and starting a physical altercation.
The exact reason behind the altercation is currently undetermined. In the video, Malik appeared to rush towards the individual (while shoving a woman on his way). The two were seen jostling on the ground before their friends separated them.
From the video that has surfaced, it can be deduced that TikToker was in some sort of parking lot when all of this unfolded. Watch the viral clip here:
Another clip depicted the TikToker being swarmed by police officers who detained him on the spot. There are reports online suggesting that he may have been arrested following his aggressive behavior live on stream. Watch the clip of Malik being subdued by the authorities here:
"Just wanna serve and protect the city" - Fans react to NPC Miles Morales from TikTok getting allegedly arrested
The NPC trend on TikTok went viral in 2023, leading to the rise of several new creators producing similar content. Among them was an NPC cosplayer dressed as Miles Morales. However, during his latest stream, he encountered trouble with the police.
Clips of Malik being subdued by the police have rapidly circulated on X.com. These clips have naturally attracted numerous comments, many of which are trolling-worthy. One fan humorously commented (referring to the fictional Miles Morales):
"Just wanna serve and protect the city and y’all arresting him."
Another X user wrote:
"They turned him into a villain."
Here are some other reactions:
NPC Miles Morales wasn't the only live streamer detained in the past 24 hours. Another streamer, Josh "FaZe YourRAGE," faced a similar situation due to a swatting incident while he was live on his Kick account. He later shared a photo from his courtyard showing himself being detained by officers.
