In a lifesaving incident, a Twitch streamer unknowingly helped a woman who was being followed by a stranger in Japan. Rob Dee, an Australian streamer, was live-streaming outside a kebab shop in Tokyo when he noticed a woman and a man strolling together. It was only when the woman started walking towards him did he realise that she was in trouble.
'IT guy from Tokyo'
The woman reportedly introduced Dee to the stranger as her friend, following which the latter played along and introduced himself as the “IT guy” from Tokyo. Later, while talking to international media, he explained the whole situation. He said that he was streaming in Tokyo, describing his equipment to his followers when he “noticed” a girl and a boy and thought them to be a couple. He added that suddenly she started walking towards him. He said that initially, he found the situation as “strange” but decided to play along as since she looked troubled.
