A notorious street racer and YouTuber known as Squeeze Benz was recently arrested by New York police officers after a hit-and-run incident on May 1. Alongside him during the road incident was popular online streamer N3on.
Squeeze Benz has gained fame for posting videos of himself performing dangerous driving maneuvers on his YouTube channel, which has amassed over 300,000 subscribers.
One of his most viewed videos shows him speeding through New York’s Time Square at high speeds, garnering over four million views.
The New York Police Department has labeled Squeeze Benz as a “prolific street racer” and issued warnings to other influencers and motorheads in the city.
Deputy Commissioner of Operations, Kaz Daughtry confirmed the arrest of the internet star in a post on X, stating, “‘Squeeze.benz’ is in custody, thanks to NY’s Finest. One of the most prolific street racers in NYC can no longer treat the Big Apple like the Indy 500.”
This incident marks the first collaboration between Squeeze Benz and N3on. N3on, whose real name is Rangesh Mutama, is a popular streamer, influencer, and YouTuber with over 830,000 subscribers on YouTube.
He gained popularity with Fortnite videos before branching out into vlogs and streams on Kick, where he has a substantial following.
N3on recently faced a ban on Kick after allegedly threatening a minor on stream, though the reasons for the ban were not specified by the platform.
However, his account was later reinstated after two days, with N3on posting an apology video on his YouTube channel, expressing regret for his actions.
