Finnish Twitch Streamer Velcuz Witnesses Disturbing Stabbing Scene in London Live Stream
Velcuz, a Finland-based Twitch streamer, experienced a harrowing start to his recent London stream when he stumbled upon a man severely injured just minutes after going live. The shocking incident unfolded during an IRL broadcast in central London, with approximately 1,100 viewers already tuned in. What began as an enthusiastic and excited stream quickly turned tense and unsettling as Velcuz walked into what appeared to be the aftermath of a violent stabbing.
The Unexpected Turn of Events in Mayfair and Soho
Velcuz had initiated his stream from Berners Street in the upscale Mayfair district, expressing sheer excitement to be back online. "Bro, I’m so excited, I’m so excited! I swear to god," he exclaimed at the outset. However, within a mere five minutes, the mood shifted dramatically. As he proceeded toward the vibrant Soho area, he noticed a group of police officers clad in yellow jackets congregating near a street corner. It was there that he saw a man completely covered in blood, lying on the ground.
Visibly shaken by the gruesome sight, Velcuz promptly moved away from the scene, his reaction captured live on stream. "What’s all this then? Oh, f***! Jesus Christ, Jesus fing Christ, Jesus Christ, bro. What the f?!" he uttered in disbelief. He continued walking, turning onto Wardour Street, clearly disturbed by the encounter. Moments later, he explained the situation to his audience, stating, "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh, you didn’t see that? Jesus Christ, I thought you saw it. No, he was completely covered in blood. Someone got stabbed, yeah. I’ve been live for five minutes, and someone already got stabbed. Oh, my god!"
He further described the victim in stark terms, noting, "He was covered in blood. His face and his shirt. Oh my goodness, that’s crazy." Despite the traumatic moment, Velcuz chose not to end the stream and continued exploring London, highlighting the unpredictable nature of real-life broadcasting.
Velcuz’s Twitch Journey and Past Controversies with Viewer Numbers
Velcuz, a partnered streamer on Twitch, has been actively streaming since late 2021, gradually building a steady audience and growing his channel over time. His most significant growth surge occurred in January 2025, when he achieved peak performance metrics, averaging around 20,000 viewers per stream—a substantial increase from his earlier figures.
However, one particular stream on January 28, 2025, garnered extraordinary attention for dubious reasons. During that broadcast, his viewer count skyrocketed to over 345,000, initially appearing as a monumental success. Subsequent investigations revealed that the stream was impacted by viewbotting, a practice involving fake accounts to artificially inflate viewer numbers. Reports indicated that only about 1% of those 345,000 viewers were genuine, with his regular viewership typically hovering near 2,000 per stream, underscoring the anomaly of the spike.
Despite this past controversy, Velcuz has persisted in streaming regularly and producing real-life content. His recent London stream once again captured public attention, but this time for an entirely unexpected and serious reason, emphasizing the real-world risks associated with IRL broadcasting.
