‘Fortnite’ streamer charged after alleged domestic assault on Twitch

An Australian Fortnite streamer has been charged after allegedly assaulting his partner during a live broadcast on Twitch.

Officers from Camden Police were contacted after a witness reported the alleged assault, which took place on Sunday evening.
