Kanye West has been hit with a lawsuit for assaulting a photographer.The US rapper is being sued by photographer Michael Vazquez for an undisclosed sum after claiming that he was "assaulted, battered, beat and threatened" by West and his security team at a gig more than two years ago.
The New York Post reports that Vazquez said he was invited to take pictures of the event, and is claiming for the "physical, mental and emotional illness" caused by West, which left the 44-year-old with a dislocated shoulder.
The suit states: "West, his agents, servants and/or employees acting in the course and within the scope of their employment, detained and/or threatened and/or caused plaintiff to suffer injuries."
"The assault and battery was committed by defendant Kanye West, [his] agents, servants and/or employees, with malice."
The newspaper also revealed that Vazquez filed the suit the following day after the incident, and that his camera and phone were taken during the alleged attack.
