Streamer Vitaly Reportedly Arrested in the Philippines After ‘Disturbing the Peace’ Videos Go Viral

Kick streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy was reportedly arrested in the Philippines after videos of himself harassing locals spread online.

According to the Philippine Star, the 33-year-old Russian-American content creator was apprehended by authorities on Wednesday in front of a Pasay City hotel "based on a mission order from the Bureau of Immigration."

His recent antics were broadcast live on Sunday (March 30) on a Kick stream titled, “Vitaly DISTURBING THE PEACE in Philippines 😈.”

Around the one-hour, 33-minute mark in the clip linked above, Zdorovetskiy was seen in Bonifacio Global City harassing a traffic officer by asking him if he could shove a banana peel “up your booty” before seemingly riding his patrol motorcycle without permission. 

Not long after, the creator appeared to play petty pranks on the locals at a nearby shopping center where he filmed and mocked other security guards.

One of the pranks included Zdorovetskiy threatening a seemingly older woman, saying, “I’m gonna fucking rob you if you keep walking away.” After the woman stopped in her tracks, the streamer offered her money which she refused.

“No? Okay, ‘cuz you’ve got a COVID mask, you liberal f**k,” he said. “Go get your vaccine.”

Other clips circulating online appeared to show Zdorovetskiy stealing a restaurant’s electric fan and crashing a tricycle into a parked jeepney.

Vitaly, whose 10 million subscribers on YouTube tune in for his controversial stunts—including his To Catch a Predator-inspired videos, had been arrested multiple times in the past.

The creator was arrested in 2016 for climbing the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles. He spent five days in jail for scaling the Pyramids of Giza in early 2020, and was charged with aggravated battery for allegedly assaulting a female jogger in Miami that same year.
