More details have surfaced about Busta Rhymes'assault arrest last weekend. Rhymes was arrested by New York City police officers after a show on Randall's Island on Saturday (August 19th), for allegedly beating up a man on the street a week earlier.

Nineteen-year-old Roberto Lebron claims he was casually spitting into the street on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan at 4 a.m. on August 12th, when Rhymes'Maybach drove by, and he accidentally hit the car. He says Rhymes stepped out of the car and said "Homie, did you just spit on my car?" Lebron says he replied, "Sorry, I didn't mean to. We're big fans of yours." He says that at that point a member of Rhymes'entourage hit him in the face and knocked him down, and while he was down Rhymes kicked him in the face. He also reportedly threw Lebron's sneakers down the street.

Afterwards, Lebron was treated for a concussion, as well as lacerations and abrasions.

After Rhymes was arrested, police also questioned him about the February shooting death of one of his bodyguards outside one of his video shoots. Rhymes declined to answer, referring them to his lawyer.
