YouTuber attacked & robbed by masked men while livestreaming

YouTuber Carmine ‘Kurrgas’ Stones was attacked and robbed by masked men while riding his electric bike during a live stream.

IRL content has absolutely skyrocketed in popularity over the years, with many creators focusing on uploading videos showing off their daily life outside of home.

Carmine Stones, who goes by kurrgas on YouTube, has amassed over 40,000 subscribers on the site with his biking and music content, but one stream of him on his electric bike didn’t go quite as planned.

Uploaded on April 1, 2025, Kurrgas was streaming his ride when two masked men approached him on a scooter. Seconds later, they attacked and robbed the YouTuber – pushing him to the ground in the process.

The masked men asked for a picture with Carmine after approaching him, but after taking the photo, they shoved the YouTuber onto the ground.

Seconds later, the two men rode away from the YouTuber. One on his bike, the other on the scooter they approached him with.

Kurrgas spoke with the Manchester Evening News after the incident, revealing that he wasn’t hurt but was ‘p*ssed off.’ He said: “They took the picture and suddenly I’m being ripped off my bike. I didn’t get hurt much, but it p*ssed me off. I’m not going to lie.”

Witnesses to the incident called the police, who were able to track the bike and recover it just hours later.

“It’s frustrating that people like this spoil things for everyone else,” he added in an Instagram post. “From now on, if I don’t stop for you, it’s not out of rudeness—it’s because I’m not risking being robbed again.”

Back in 2023, Twitch streamer shuls_of was getting makeup applied when two masked men robbed him at gunpoint. After realizing he was live, they grabbed the camera and ended the broadcast.
