A computer whiz accused of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend when she asked him to stop playing Fortnite says the alleged attack was 'a one-off thing' and insists 'she's fine'.
Luke Munday, 26, was charged on Sunday night after fans watching a live stream of him playing the popular video game called police when they allegedly heard him assault his partner at his home in Oran Park, western Sydney.
In the video, which been broadcast across the globe, Munday was seen walking off camera before a commotion was heard, at which point the woman screamed in agony.
'You're all judging the video, you don't see what happens, you haven't read the police report, you don't actually know what happened off camera,' Munday told The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday.
'The court will decide what happens, they have the evidence, they have her statement and they have my statement, and they match. There's no issue there... Everyone thinks I kicked the s**t out of her which clearly isn't the case.'

Munday added: 'There is no family violence. It's a one-off thing and she will corroborate that in court. She's fine, she's just sick of everyone constantly harassing her and the kids.'
While Munday claimed the incident was a 'one-off', it was earlier revealed police had intervened previously when the IT nerd - who would reportedly play Fortnite for up to eight hours in a single sitting - had allegedly been violent towards his partner.
In 2015 an apprehended violence order (AVO) was taken out against Munday by NSW Police on behalf of his girlfriend.
The AVO stood for close to a year before it was dismissed when the woman withdrew her complaint.
'Everyone thinks I kicked the s**t out of her which clearly isn't the case,' Munday said after he was charged
On Sunday night as Munday's game was broadcast live on the Twitch e-sports video stream, the woman could be heard asking him to stop playing the online game.
In response to her request, Munday, who had been the poster boy for tech giant Cisco said: 'Can you not? I said I'll be out soon'.
'No computer, I'm sick of this s**t,' she responded.
After she was allegedly attacked, Munday's girlfriend could be heard yelling in the video: 'Do they know you touched me and I'm pregnant.
'I hope all of you people know that I'm pregnant and he just bashed me.'
Children could be heard crying in the background of the video as the pair continued to argue.
Eventually Munday allegedly snaped again, screaming: 'F*** off you dog, you don't pay the bills.'
Munday was taken to Narellan Police station and charged with assault at 11.30pm on Sunday, as the stream of his alleged assault was going viral on Twitter.

He was granted conditional bail and will appear in Camden Local Court on Thursday.
Police also took out an interim apprehended violence order (AVO) for his girlfriend, who was described as shaken and distressed but not seriously injured.
Munday's alleged attack on his girlfriend comes after he last year told of his desire to create financial security for his family after his father walked out on him as a toddler.
'When my partner fell pregnant with our first child, a lot changes and your responsibilities go through the roof,' he said.
'I had that philosophy I wouldn't let that happen to my own kids.'
The budding IT genius was the top ranking Australian at last years Cisco Networking Academy NetRiders Competition, leading him to be offered a job with Telstra.

But in the wake of charges being laid the telecommunications giant confirmed they had suspended him while police carry out their investigation.
In a statement, Telstra General Media Manager Steve Carey condemned the alleged domestic violence attack.
'This behaviour goes against what we stand for as an organisation and the work we have done to assist women impacted by domestic violence,' Mr Carey said.
'We have suspended Luke's employment pending a full investigation and will co-operate with any police investigation.
'Domestic violence has no place in our community. It is totally unacceptable and needs to be eradicated.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
