YouTuber IShowSpeed has spoken out after being attacked by a stranger while watching the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

Anybody familiar with IShowSpeed will know his mega obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United.

Showing support for his favorite club, the YouTube star attended the FA Cup final on June 3 between Manchester City and Manchester United, when a man, who was sitting directly in the row in front of him unexpectedly turned around and attacked him.

The 18-year-old was punched in the arm, sending his phone flying out of his hands and into other spectators before his security quickly intervened to avoid further escalation.

With him live streaming at the time, it’s fair to say the situation quickly went viral across the internet, and fans were certainly concerned.
