YouTube star Fousey appears to have been arrested by police during a live stream after he appeared to have called the police and claimed a gun had been put to his head.
Live video streamed to Kick showed Yousef Saleh Erakat, 33 – known for his YouTube channel fouseyTUBE – being interrogated and handcuffed by Miami Police Department officers in a hotel room.
Earlier footage showed Fousey – who has over ten million YouTube subscribers – sitting on the hotel room bed asking a dispatcher to “send the goddamn cops” and telling them there was a gun pointed to his head. There was no weapon in the footage.
Another man who appeared to be Fousey’s security was also seen in the footage, but did not seem threatening towards the YouTuber and helped him when he asked what his room number was.
DailyMail.com has so far been unable to verify whether the arrest is real or staged. The Miami Police Department has been approached for comment.
Fousey, who has spoken out about his struggles with mental health, has made some controversial videos in the past.

Live video streamed to Kick showed Yousef Saleh Erakat, 33, being questioned and handcuffed by Miami Police Department officers in a hotel room.
It appears that the YouTuber has streamed previous footage showing law enforcement officers coming to his property. He has also previously filmed himself walking down the freeway in Miami, dodging cars.
The most recent footage shows four officers entering the hotel room, while an apparently distressed Fousey appeared to tell police “there’s a stalker.”
He is then asked by one of the officers who the stalker is, and remains enraged.
He yells back, “I don’t fucking know.”
The cop then says, “How do you want us to find him if you don’t know where he is.”
“I have his address,” he calls back.
“I said ‘get my security’ 20 minutes ago,” he continues to yell.
Officers then enter, with two men grabbing each of his hands. One pulls out a pair of handcuffs and holds him.
“You guys are so stupid, man. You guys are literally so stupid,” Fousey says.

He continues, “Record this. Security’s coming in here now. You come in here for my protection.’
Another police officer from outside the door tells Fousey that security cannot enter.
“You will be damned. I’ll sue anything you want. My life is in danger and you are suing the Palestinian Muslim who is viral.
Flanked by officers on each side, Fousey is led out of the hotel room and continues to scream. Katy Perry’s Dark Horse can be heard in the background.
He yells, “Free Fousey.”
