Tubbo himself has made some statements about a terrifying event that took place on a live IRL stream on the Twitch platform in Brighton, he and his friends were swatted following a fake police report. The British creator was hosting a pub crawl stream on January 31, 2026, when the night took a sudden turn. What began as a lighthearted outing in costume ended with officers entering a packed venue and detaining one member of the group.
The streamer later shared details in a video titled “i was swatted (serious),” explaining that the group had been careful not to disrupt other patrons while moving between bars in the city center. Tension rose at their fourth stop when security began watching them closely. Moments later, police arrived and approached the group directly, escalating what had been an ordinary broadcast into a real world emergency.
