Earlier this week Travis Scott was named a suspect after being accused of punching someone and then damaging property, which was described as someone’s cellphone.
Now in a new video obtained by TMZ, Travis could be seen behind the DJ booth at Nebula in New York City, and while being recorded by a fan, the fan video appears to show him grabbing the phone before the video came to an end.
The owner of the phone told the site that Travis allegedly tossed the phone, hitting him in the head and cracking the screen.
The fan went on to share that the staff at Nebula offered his table a free bottle of alcohol for the trouble caused by the incident, but he turned it down. Nonetheless, the fan has obtained a lawyer with plans to file a police report and civil lawsuit.
As previously reported, the sound engineer that accused Travis of assaulting him spoke out about the incident and said he suffered a neck injury. Travis’ attorney Mitchell Schuster spoke to TMZ about the incident.
“While this is clearly a misunderstanding being blown out of proportion by clickbait and misinformation, we are actively working with the venue and law enforcement to resolve and set the record straight. We are confident our client will be cleared of any wrongdoing.”
It is alleged that the rapper also went on to cause approximately $12,000 of damage to a speaker and video screen before fleeing the club.
The official report for the incident is for an assault and criminal mischief, and officials were looking to speak with Travis and his team as of Wednesday.
He was in the city as he made an appearance at Don Toliver’s show Tuesday night, a video clip shared online shows.
According to News Break, the NYPD have since issued an arrest warrant for the rapper, however no arrests have appeared to been made as of Friday.
