A tense incident unfolded in Romania after a man was detained for livestreaming outside Andrew Tate’s residence while carrying an airsoft gun. The individual, who claimed to be undertaking a 24-hour challenge in front of the property, broadcasted the entire stunt on a popular cryptocurrency streaming platform.
According to reports, the man was seen walking around the car park near the property, waving the gun at his camera, and pacing outside the house before attempting to move closer. The live broadcast sparked alarm among viewers and raised concerns for the safety of those at the residence.
The Tate family later explained that the situation escalated quickly as security teams could not immediately determine whether the weapon was real. “It could have very easily been a real gun,” Andrew Tate noted, stressing that the man’s actions were reckless and potentially life-threatening. Security staff subdued the suspect in what they described as a controlled operation, restraining him until police arrived at the scene.
The suspect later told local reporters that he and his companions were only trying to promote their cryptocurrency coin. He insisted that they had not intended to cause harm, stating: “We were filming a challenge that involved staying 24 hours in front of the house. We didn’t make noise, we didn’t disturb anyone.”
Despite these claims, the presence of the weapon created panic both online and at the scene. Tate, who has often been a polarizing figure, dismissed the act as foolish. He emphasized that when someone shows up outside his residence brandishing a gun, there is no way to instantly confirm whether it is fake. “He could have hidden in the bushes waiting for us to come out,” Tate remarked.
Police officers questioned the suspect, confiscated the airsoft gun, and released him without making an arrest. However, the incident highlighted the dangers of social media stunts and the potential consequences of using imitation firearms in public spaces.
Andrew Tate, along with his brother Tristan, continues to attract widespread attention, not only for his controversial views and online presence but also for ongoing legal challenges across multiple countries. This latest incident adds another layer of drama to the already scrutinized lives of the Tate brothers.
