A KNIFE-wielding attacker stormed disgraced influencer Andrew Tate’s compound in Romania before stabbing a 53-year-old employee.
The knifeman trespassed on Tate’s property at around 2pm local time before injuring the worker in the arm, according to a police investigation.
The attacker, who was later arrested by police, is understood to be a Ukrainian national, ProTV reported.
According to a source who spoke to the news outlet, the victim was attacked with a sharp object. Following the assault, the assailant was initially let go after providing a vague explanation about a minor disagreement and expressing grievances about noise.
Tate, 38, said on social media yesterday that an unidentified individual “attacked a construction worker” and “sliced his arm open”.
The worker received medical care shortly after he was attacked, according to local media outlet Gândul.
Later on the same day, the attacker reportedly returned to Tate’s property and attempted to enter the compound for a second time.
The self-proclaimed misogynist’s security team noticed him and alerted the police again, who quickly intervened and detained the aggressor.
A police spokesperson said: “The person in question was taken to police headquarters for investigation and is currently detained.”
Tate, who is currently living in Romania with his brother Tristan, alleged that the suspect had been “lurking in the vicinity of my house recently”.
He said that the man attacked a construction worker who was working on his garage with a blade.
Tate said on X: “The police are finally getting involved but it took him trying to kill a man before they took action.”
ProTV reported that on June 18, just one day prior to the alleged assault, the same 53-year-old worker was said to have been involved in another altercation with a 32-year-old man.
A third person intervened, but police confirmed that this prior altercation did not result in any criminal offences or injuries.
Cops continue to probe the circumstances leading up to the attack and are working to establish a motive.
This incident follows the recent accusations against the Tate brothers, who were linked to a series of crimes, including human trafficking, committed against several women in the UK during May.
The controversial influencer was accused of ten charges in total.
This includes rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain against three women.
His brother Tristan, 36, was charged with 11 offences against one alleged victim – including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.
The brothers are also still facing a string of alleged sex crimes over in Romania, which prosecutors say must be settled first.
Andrew Ford, the pair’s legal representative, confirmed in that once proceedings in Bucharest are over they will address the ones in Britain.
Ford told Sky News: “The Tates will return to face UK allegations”.
The attack at Tate’s compound also comes after Brit teachers warned earlier this year that influences like Tate were driving sexism in schools.
Social media giant Tate became famous after an appearance on Big Brother – and later went on to describe women as “intrinsically lazy”.
