Investigators say Captain Crunch Boats was stabbed from behind during a Clear Lake dock livestream

The Harris County Sheriff's Office said it has video that may show a suspect but no clear view of the attacker's face.

Captain Crunch Boats, a YouTube creator with about 33,000 subscribers who often records disputes with boaters at Clear Lake Park's public ramps in Texas, was livestreaming on August 16 when a confrontation escalated into a stabbing investigators tied to that broadcast, ABC13 Houston reported.

While he filmed a family with children, he repeatedly said he was taking video for OnlyFans. A man told him to stop mentioning OnlyFans around the kids. The two traded insults for several minutes, including remarks from Captain Crunch Boats that ABC13 described as slurs directed at the other party.

About 1 hour and 12 minutes into the stream, Captain Crunch Boats dropped the camera and sounded as if he was in pain. A woman shouted, "Hey, put the f**king knife down!" Investigators told ABC13 that an unknown person stabbed him from behind at that point; the feed did not capture the strike after the camera fell. Others yelled "get off," and one man told the attacker, "It ain't worth it. I don't know why you just stabbed a motherf**cker, bro."

The boaters he had been arguing with called police and an ambulance and stayed with him until help arrived, ABC13 reported.

In a YouTube community post, Captain Crunch Boats said he was "safe, healthy as an ox, walking" and had been released from the hospital after being "stabbed once and sliced once." He wrote that police have a suspect and "are actively hunting him down."

The Harris County Sheriff's Office said it obtained video that may show the suspect but has not found a clear shot of the person's face and is seeking additional footage.
