A man armed with a knife broke into Andrew Tate’s home in Romania on Wednesday, attacking workers amid ongoing investigations into suspected sex trafficking in the area. Tate shared his concerns about a “violent psychopath” lurking near his residence on social media, noting that one of his construction workers had been slashed in the arm during the incident.
The influencer expressed frustration that police only intervened after the attack, stating it was unfortunate that serious harm had to occur before action was taken. Workers who were at the compound during the break-in were later examined by a doctor for their wellbeing.
The wife of the unidentified assailant was questioned but was released after providing ambiguous statements regarding “noise” and “trivial conflict.” Reports suggest that the suspect returned to the Tate residence a few hours later, but security stopped him.
In a follow-up on social media, Tate criticized local authorities for their lack of urgency in dealing with what he described as a “machete man” threatening his home. He noted the irony of police being swift to respond for what he termed political pressure, while failing to act against a direct threat to his safety.
According to various reports, police managed to apprehend the assailant, who is thought to be a Ukrainian citizen. Tristan Tate confirmed the details surrounding the intrusion, clarifying that the suspect was not a neighbor and suggesting that the noise from construction work was merely a cover. He added that the attacker had only recently been detained.
Both Andrew and Tristan Tate are currently facing a range of serious accusations, including rape and human trafficking, in Romania and the UK.
