Internet influencer Nicholas Attalla, better known online as ‘Niky Sal,’ is facing criminal charges months after he was stabbed during a confrontation at a Tim Hortons in Jamestown, New York. Attalla, who describes himself online as a “child predator hunter,” was attempting to confront a man he believed was trying to meet a minor when the situation allegedly turned violent.
The December 2025 incident has now taken a dramatic turn, with Attalla and two other men facing charges connected to the confrontation.
What are the charges against Niky Sal?
According to Jamestown police, Attalla turned himself in on September 4, 2026, and was charged with three counts of criminal acts: Third-degree assault, second-degree criminal nuisance, and endangering the welfare of a child. The charges stem from the December 13, 2025, confrontation at a Tim Hortons on South Main Street in Jamestown. Attalla allegedly confronted James Morris, 43, and Eric Spencer, 42, after he believed Morris was attempting to meet a 14-year-old girl.
