Thousands of Logan Paul fans descended on Sydney’s streets on Monday morning to catch a glimpse of the professional boxer and YouTube star as they made an appearance on the Today show.
The commotion began as fans of Logan Paul and his fellow boxer and YouTube star KSI began to gather outside the studio. By the time the pair arrived at the studio for their appearance, a crowd of thousands had filled the street, blocking access to the building and causing chaos.
The pair were in Sydney to promote a new energy drink called Prime, and the sheer number of their fans was testament to the popularity of the YouTube stars.
The chaos started when Paul and KSI arrived at the studio and were greeted by a huge crowd of screaming fans. Police were called to the scene to help keep the crowd under control, but the sheer number of fans made it difficult to keep the situation under control.
When the Youtubers stepped out onto a balcony overlooking the street at approximately 9 am, the crowd moved quickly towards them, pushing against the concrete barricade in an effort to catch a glimpse.
Security guards were sent stumbling backward after the NCA NewsWire witnessed a crowd become so out of control that they managed to push over the heavy 4-ft barricade.
