While live, Hampton Brandon starts a fight with another man on the street right in front of multiple police cars – he then gets arrested to the surprise of no one.
Kick streamer Hampton Brandon was being broadcasted live when he started a fight with a man outside a kiosk right in front of multiple police cars. Then (obviously) everyone involved got arrested.
What Happened?
33-year-old Brandon Gross, alias Kick streamer Hampton Brandon, is known by his fans for his IRL streams, where he regularly runs wild and gets himself into trouble. So this incident is nothing new for him. In this new livestream he can now be seen quarrelling with a man in front of a kiosk, his cameraman clearly stating "Do it for the content" and "That's Hampton Brandon". Another person chimes in with "Stop, he's going to jail!" only for the cameraman to respond with "he's famous though!"
Shortly after, Brandon takes his first swing, missing his target completely, just like the second and third time. By the fourth time, Brandon actually hits the man – although not very hard. The man falls backwards to the floor nevertheless.
Right behind the fight, multiple police cars are parked and an officer is promptly on scene. The cameraman, assumingly wanting to defend Brandon, repeatedly states "Officer, he's autistic."
While Brandon is being arrested, the other mans comes in, punching the streamer in the face. He is pushed away by the officer and lands on the floor again, whereafter the cameraman decidedly kicks the man in the face. Of course, the cameraman is arrested as well while shouting "I'm autistic."

Not His First Rodeo
Hampton Brandon has a long history with police and the justice system. In 2018, the then 25-year-old was arrested multiple times: once he was arrested during a stream for assault and drinking in public, another time he was arrested for pulling out a knife to fight someone on live, then he was captured on stream by a bounty hunter because of six separate outstanding warrants and for bringing a controlled substance into prison. Also, he punched IRL streamer Ice Poseidon in the face, who got a very big black and blue mark from it.
In 2021, he got arrested in April and September, on stream as well.
These are just a few of his run-ins with the law. The Kick streamer seems to constantly get himself into trouble. He does not seem to learn from his mistakes and maybe lay low for a while or at least not film himself doing illegal things. But the thing is – that is what's getting him clicks. His fans watch him just because of his outlandish and wild character and hope to catch the next trainwreck or even arrest live. If he stopped doing what he does, he runs the risk of slipping into obscurity. But is the constant arrests, criminal record and even time in prison actually worth it?
