A$AP Rocky Arrested Last Night — Charged With Attempted Robbery

From the good folks at TMZ;

Rapper A$AP Rocky was taken into NYPD custody tonight after he allegedly put the smackdown on 2 guys who took pics of him … TMZ has learned.

According to law enforcement sources … A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, had gotten into a verbal dispute with someone in downtown Manhattan, when 2 civilians started snapping photos of the incident. 

We’re told A$AP and a friend quickly turned their attention to the amateur photogs … and a full-fledged fight erupted. Our sources say the two victims suffered cuts and bruises with one requiring treatment at a hospital.

We’re told responding officers arrested AR … and he’s expected to be booked for attempted robbery. It’s unclear, at this point, what he’s accused of trying to pilfer.

Rocky is a native New Yorker and member of the hip hop group A$AP Mob. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the BET Awards this year.

The only part where attempted robbery makes sense was if he tried to steal the camera because the photos taken of him were ones he didn’t want to be seen. Also, this mother fucker just loves to brawl it seems like. Don’t know how/if this will affect Flacko’s appearance tonight for ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon‘.
