It was during the water break when the YouTuber was addressing his fans live when the supporter came and punched him. While Speed could react, his bodyguard confronted the attacker and tackled the man to the ground. The situation escalated as the man continued to resist, and a crowd of supporters gathered around them in the stands.

Speed was still processing what had just happened as he shouted back at the man. After being brought to the ground by the bodyguard, the man managed to get back on his feet, but he was immediately restrained by security personnel and other supporters present at the scene. Later, Speed confirmed that the incident had compelled him to halt his live stream. However, the motive behind his sudden attack on Speed remains unclear.
