On April 5th, 2023, a [https://streamable.com/v3hocz recording] of a private Discord call between [[Daniel Larson|Daniel,]] his [[management]], and someone pretending to be Olivia VanderWaal was uploaded to Reddit by user u/cybercrimer. In the recording, Daniel is heard (and somewhat seen) getting into an '''altercation with a worker at a bodega''', following him being asked to leave the premises. The catalyst for this incident happened when u/Zokmonkee of [[r/Daniellarson]] subreddit posted multiple video recordings<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/user/Zokmonkee/ recording]</ref> of himself harassing Daniel, beginning at a restaurant, before showing up at a bodega.
The fake Olivia VanderWaal encourages Daniel to defend himself, going as far as to say he should spit on the employee. Daniel starts screaming, saying that the police "told him to wait in there", remaining ultimately being ignored and demanded to remove himself from the store. While the situation unfolded, the trolls calling him encouraged Daniel to assault the man multiple times.  
 
The [[Sightings and Fan Interactions|"fans]]" repeatedly asked Daniel questions, such as if he smoked crack or tweak. They additionally lied to Daniel, saying that they were his friends, causing him to become even more agitated. Daniel can be seen throughout the videos talking about an unspecified "security" force, and threatening to call the police on u/Zokmonkee. Daniel can be seen talking about harassment to the employee he'd soon after punch, making the previous fan interaction a possible influence behind Daniel's poor behavior and his eventual removal from the store. However, there is no documentation of these teenagers encouraging Daniel to assault the Bodega employee, unlike his [[management]] and "Olivia", who are documented encouraging such behavior. (We originally found Daniel in "The Gem Saloon" and talked to him inside. Shortly after we restaurant  have scared him away and he walked out of the restaurant under our noses. We spotted him shortly after on the same block little Inidia was on and when we confronted him he went inside - @Zokmonkey)
 
After this, the "fans" continue to follow Daniel throughout the store. Finally, he antagonizes Daniel by calling his name down random aisles, before Daniel eventually calls the police. This is where the video call where most of the incident was captured begins. The call took place in a private Discord server called "[[Daniel Larson HQ]]," where his "managers" and the ''newest'' fake Olivia [[VanderWaal]] used to communicate with Daniel.
 
In this call, Daniel is seen being kicked out of Little India Bodega by an employee for recording in the store and causing a disturbance. Daniel claims that he was directed to stay at the establishment by the police, who he had previously called, although it cannot be confirmed if he legitimately did call the police. However, Daniel claimed to have previously called the police due to the 5 teenagers who had been following him around the bodega. Despite his attempts to explain himself, the employee repeatedly tells Daniel to get out, and can then be seen pushing him out. The camera cuts in and out, but Daniel is seen exiting through the door.

Daniel accuses the employee of hitting him previously multiple times, and the employee, who by now stands at the entrance of the store, starts to call the police, with the employee telling Daniel that he will be arrested if he doesn't go right now. In a fit of rage, gives into what the trolls tell him, proceeding to charge at the man and attempting to punch him, who in response punches Daniel in the eye and pushed Daniel to the ground. Daniel moans and yells, "I HAVE YOU ON FILM!" while simultaneously capturing none of the assaults due to a shaky or obscured camera. Daniel turns his camera back on and screams that he was injured after being pushed to the ground and that his knee and eye were bleeding.
