The Fortnite gamer who inadvertently live-streamed himself allegedly hitting his pregnant partner while playing the online video game has previously been convicted of violent offences, court documents reveal.

Luke Munday, 26, who came to worldwide attention after the live-streamed incident, appeared briefly before Camden Local Court on Thursday morning.

Following the alleged assault on Sunday night, police imposed an apprehended violence order on Mr Munday, 26, that dictated he could not go within 100 metres of his partner’s workplace, where she lives, or the family home.

The court heard that he had applied to change that condition of the AVO.
