TikToker stabs three on livestream in Amsterdam – media

Two of the victims and the suspect were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries

A TikTok streamer allegedly stabbed three men following a confrontation he broadcast near Amsterdam’s central railway station, local media have reported.

The incident occurred at around 7:30 PM on Saturday on De Ruijterkade, a waterfront road running behind Amsterdam Centraal station. Police believe an argument or fight preceded the stabbing.

Three men suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds. Two of them and the injured suspect were taken to hospital, while the third victim was treated at the scene.

Four ambulances, a Mobile Medical Team, and a specialist fire-service unit were dispatched following reports of the violence, the Dutch outlet 112 Nieuws Nederland reported. The road was temporarily closed while emergency services examined the scene.

Video circulating online shows a man livestreaming as an argument develops. He can apparently be heard saying in Dutch: “Bro, listen. I’m doing my thing,” before repeatedly telling members of the group not to touch him.

“Alcohol does this,” he adds as tensions escalate. The recording shows pushing and punching, with at least one person falling to the ground. The streamer then places his phone nearby with its camera facing the group and approaches the men. The broadcast cuts off shortly afterward.

Other recordings of the aftermath show several injured people lying on the pavement as bystanders attempt to help them. Police officers, ambulances, and other emergency personnel can later be seen arriving.

The Dutch outlet VKMAG identified the streamer as Angelo Bryson, known online as Superhuman Unchained, and reported that the group involved comprised approximately six or seven men. Bryson was born on Sint Maarten in the 1980s and moved to Curaçao at age seven. At age 22 he moved to the Netherlands and became a personal trainer and competitive powerlifter.

Official demographic and crime data in the Netherlands has long shown an overrepresentation of people with a Dutch Caribbean background in police suspect and conviction registries.

Police, meanwhile, have not officially disclosed the detainee’s identity or publicly established who inflicted the stab wounds. It also remains unclear whether those involved knew one another or what triggered the initial dispute.

Investigators have appealed for witnesses and anyone with relevant footage or information to come forward.
