What did Nicholas Attalla do? Charges against the influencer explored after he was stabbed during confrontation with an alleged child predator

Social media content creator Nicholas Attalla, also known as Niky Sal, was taken into custody on September 4, 2026, in connection with a physical altercation that took place in December 2025 between him and two other men, who were alleged to be child predators, at a Tim Hortons restaurant in New York's Jamestown.

As cited by People, according to WGRZ, while Nicholas Attalla confronted and ended up in a brawl with the two men, Eric Spencer and James Morris, who were alleged to be child predators at Tim Hortons, he was stabbed and injured his arm. Following the incident, Spencer and Morris were arrested as well.

According to People, Nicholas Attalla managed to get Morris and Spencer to the Jamestown Tim Hortons by pretending to be a minor on the internet, wanting to get hold of them as they showed up to the restaurant.

Attalla has grown a follower base on social media by sharing videos of him hunting and catching child predators as he pretends to be a minor on the internet, and that is exactly what he did with Morris and Spencer, getting them to come down to Tim Hortons in Jamestown. However, initially Nicholas was communicating with an unknown person who claimed to be a 16-year-old boy. It was after both of them showed up to the restaurant that Attalla confronted them.

Following Nicholas Attalla's brawl with the alleged child predators Spencer and Morris, during which a family and their one-year-old child fell in between their scuffle, Attalla was charged with third-degree assault and endangering the welfare of a child. While Nicholas pleaded not guilty, he was also charged with criminal nuisance.
