An influencer’s live stream took an unexpected and terrifying turn when it captured a violent robbery in real time.
Micaela Ybañez, a popular Twitch streamer with over one million followers, had her phone stolen in a brazen attack while she was recording from inside a car in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The 21-year-old was streaming casually alongside her friend Nico Acosta when the incident occurred.

In the shocking footage, later shared on Micaela’s social media, two masked individuals wearing helmets can be seen approaching the vehicle from behind.
Without warning, the car window beside Micaela was shattered, sending glass flying and eliciting a scream from the influencer.
As the phone fell from her grasp and landed outside the car, one of the robbers grabbed it and sprinted away.
The livestream, still active during the chaos, captured the thief’s heavy breathing as he fled.
Moments later, he can be heard jumping onto the back of what sounds like a motorcycle, presumably driven by his accomplice.
Fortunately, neither Micaela nor Nico sustained injuries during the attack.
However, the dramatic sequence has since garnered nearly two million views, according to reports by vknews24.
Fans were quick to flood the comments of Micaela’s Instagram post, where she shared the clip, lightheartedly apologizing to her friend with the caption, “Sorry about the car @nicoacosta.1.”
The incident left many of her followers shocked and concerned.
One commenter, Agostina, wrote, “They protested the robbery wtf, hope they are okay.”
Another, Erik, asked, “My love, are you okay?” Others expressed relief that no one was harmed, with one user pointing out, “He was lucky the pieces of glass didn’t fall on his face.”
Despite the frightening experience, Micaela’s audience has rallied around her, sharing their support and disbelief over the incident.
