Rappers Busta Rhymes is facing multiple assault charges after an alleged altercation with his assistant… TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Busta got into a verbal argument last Friday that reportedly turned physical … pitting him against a 50-year-old man who works for him.
We're told the argument, which took place around 10 a.m. in Brooklyn, escalated and resulted in Busta punching his assistant on the left side of his face.
Sources tell us … Busta took off after the alleged assault, prompting the assistant to call 911. Police and paramedics soon arrived on scene and took Busta's assistants to a nearby hospital.
We're told Busta turned himself in to police earlier this week on Tuesday and received a ticket for his desk appearance … meaning the rapper will be going to court over the incident.
The “Touch It” artist has been charged with third-degree assault, attempted assault and harassment, according to our law enforcement sources.
We reached out to Busta's reps for comment…no response yet.
