The influencer, who has more than 20 million followers, will face two counts of inciting a riot and unlawful assembly, as well as other unspecified charges, NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said at a press conference.
The 21-year-old live streamer hadn’t obtained a permit for his gaming accessory giveaway in Union Square Friday afternoon, which quickly morphed into violent chaos as thousands of young fans stormed the surrounding streets.
