“Warrant”, “come down the hall” and “come out with your hands up” can be made out from the audio. Some other words exchanged are unintelligible. 

The 22-year-old eventually returned to his desk with a startled look on his face, sighing as he proceeded to create a new Minecraft world.

While being mostly known for his playing Fortnite, Tfue was streaming his Minecraft speedruns at the time of the incident and he continued to do so after coming back. He has been streaming for almost 10 hours and has yet to comment on the matter.

While it is a criminal offence in many countries, the search and investigation of the responsible parties can prove difficult.
