Kick streamers LordHito and GaganTV found themselves on the receiving end of a violent attack after Japanese locals struck them with glass bottles, captured during a live broadcast.

On February 15, Kick streamers LordHito and GaganTV were eating at a restaurant in Sapporo, Japan when they walked into a bar nearby. The duo spoke with a woman they’d met beforehand and two other men in what appeared to be a friendly and playful conversation at first.

At one point, two other men approached the streamers, with one grabbing at GaganTV’s phone twice. An argument broke out shortly thereafter, and an employee ushered them out of the door.

Angry at the situation that had unfolded, GaganTV vented his frustration as he and Hito walked away, while Hito himself was left confused.

Just a few moments later, one of the angry patrons from the bar approached them, shouting and holding a bottle. He lunged at Hito and then set his sights on GaganTV, swinging the bottle at him in the middle of the street as another man joined in.
