A Taiwanese national was detained by Cambodian police Wednesday on suspicion of faking a kidnap and assault that purportedly took place during a livestream from a “scam park” in Sihanoukville, according to Taiwan’s Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB).

Chen Neng-chuan, who goes by the handle “Goodnight Chicken”, live-streamed a video on Monday night, in which he claimed he had broken into the “scam park.”
He then appears to be pursued and beaten up by unseen assailants before he drops his phone and the livestream abruptly ends.
