Kai Cenat, popular Twitch streamer, is in trouble after he called a meeting to give away a PlayStation 5 and everything turned into chaos. The event in Union Square Park, in New York, gathered thousands of people who caused riots and clashes, so the police had to intervene.
According to the most recent reports, quite a few people were arrested for what happened, among them the content creator himself and other members of his team. In addition, we know that Cenat will be charged with several crimes for everything that happened.

Jeffrey Maddrey, NYPD Chief of Police, revealed more details about the case during a brief press conference. He explained that the call made by the streamer is considered an illegal gathering, as there was never any prior notice or permission from the authorities to hold it.
He also pointed out that during the riots there were injuries and quite a few arrests. The authorities have not yet decided what all the charges they will bring against the content creator will be, but Maddrey hinted that one of them will be incitement to riot.
On the other hand, the arrest of Cenat, who was taken into custody to clarify the situation, was confirmed. According to various sources, the streamer will be charged with holding illegal meetings and using his influence to cause riots, although it was never his goal. It is also believed that he will be charged with other crimes.
We know that Cenat was released after talking to the authorities, but it is unclear what his legal situation is and that of all those arrested during the riots. It is very likely that more details will be revealed early next week.
