Manchester City fan PUNCHES YouTuber IShowSpeed during the FA Cup final at Wembley…leaving the internet star stunned by the bizarre attack before security intervenes
A Manchester City supporter was seen punching YouTuber IShowSpeed during the FA Cup final on Saturday.
The internet star was present at the Wembley clash between City and United and had live-streamed herself from the stands to watch the match.
Everything was going well until midway through the first half a City supporter appeared to be hitting the streamer during his broadcast.
The incident, which later appeared on Twittertook place during the water break in the 26th minute of the game, with both teams in their respective groups in the background.
As the YouTuber is addressing his camera, he is suddenly thrown backwards before turning to the man without a camera and asking, “What the f***?”

His personal security quickly intervened to arrest the man after Saturday’s attack
Almost immediately, IShowSpeed security darted forward and grabbed hold of the City fan, who fell backwards onto the Wembley seats.
As the two individuals bickered on camera, the internet star could be heard asking his cameraman and other supporters, “Why did he just hit me, bro?” Why did he put his hands on me bro? I didn’t even touch him!’.
By the end of the clip, the man had gotten back to his feet while being restrained by security and other fans in attendance.
It is unclear what caused the City fan to act this way during the water break for the two teams in the first half.
The game was in City’s favor at the time thanks to Ilkay Gundogan’s record-breaking goal in the first 12 seconds of the game.
The popular internet personality has built a reputation for streaming at major football matches and famously flew from the US to watch Cristiano Ronaldo play for United against Aston Villa, but the striker missed due to illness.
In response to Ronaldo’s omission, Speed tweeted: “I’m crying now, I flew all the way to Manchester to see Ronaldo and he’s not playing.”
Speed even came to Old Trafford wearing the number 7 shirt, the one Ronaldo wore.
