A$AP Rocky Arrested For Street Fight In Sweden
ASAP Rocky was arrested Wednesday night (July 3) on suspicion of assaulting a man in Stockholm, Sweden. After the initial reports, CBS has now confirmed the development after talking to Swedish officials.
The incident happened on Sunday when Rocky and his crew attacked a man on the street. The group of men allege that the rapper’s crew broke their headphones. Rocky and three other men allegedly punched and kicked one of the young men before leaving the scene.
Rocky later posted a nearly three-minute-long video which shows that the man had smashed his own headphones when he threw them at A$AP’s bodyguard’s head. Rocky and his crew tried to diffuse the situation, telling the two men to leave them alone.
“Just for the cameras, we don’t want no problems with these boys. They keep following us,” said Rocky, who tried to play peacemaker.
The investigation is supposedly only in the initial stages. Under Swedish law, the suspects can be held for up to three days before they have to appear before a judge to face formal charges.
