In the video, while talking to the person holding the camera, Speed got shoved by a member of the crowd. Before Speed could do anything, his security swooped in and pushed the man to the side, while Speed was left in disbelief. Later Speed’s security could be seen holding the man down.
“What did he just do bro? What did he just fu***ng push me bro? Why did you put your hands on me? Why did he put his hands on me? I didn’t even touch him!” exclaimed Speed, still processing the events that just unfolded.

After being pushed to the side, the assaulter was contained by Speed’s bodyguard. While there are no clear indications about the cause of the assault, some fans speculated on Twitter the reason is Speed’s support of Manchester United. They think that the man that assaulted him might be a rival fan.
Speed advised to get security by Adin Ross
Two days before the assault took place, Adin Ross had advised Speed to get security, after his own experience being mugged. At the time, Speed had replied by saying, “I don’t go outside.” It seems like Speed listened to Ross after all and did keep some security around, who proved to be crucial in defusing the situation.

This is not the first time Speed has needed security at a football stadium. Late last year when Speed went to the FIFA World Cup held in Qatar, stadium officials formed a human chain around him as fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the streamer.
