Streamer YourRAGE swatted during livestream

Streamer YourRAGE, real name Josh, faced a distressing incident in the early hours of Thursday when he was swatted during a livestream. 

As officers attempted to break into his house, Josh expressed confusion, saying, “I don’t know what’s going on outside.” The streamer described the chaotic scene in his courtyard before leaving the stream, with blue lights illuminating the area and his dogs barking loudly.

The stream abruptly ended when police entered his streaming room. Later, Josh posted a picture on social media showing himself with his hands up outside his house. He was reportedly detained briefly, as the incident was suspected to be a cruel prank.

Fans of YourRAGE condemned the unknown individual responsible for the swatting. This isn't the first time Josh has faced danger while streaming. Last month, he suffered an eye injury during a livestream accident. A clip from 3 July shows him chopping wood in the dark when the axe handle bounced back, striking his face.

YourRAGE is a popular Twitch and Kick streamer known for his reactions, pranks, and gaming streams, including Fortnite, Among Us, and Grand Theft Auto V. He is also noted for collaborating with members of AMP.
