Travis Scott Arrested for Altercation with Paris Bodyguard and Taken Into Custody by Police
BACKGRID
7:05 AM PT — TMZ has learned Travis Scott was arrested after getting into a vicious fight with his bodyguard, who he felt had been slacking on the job.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us Travis had been extremely upset with the security guard after “multiple days of being chased and harassed by paparazzi” around Paris.
As for why he was transported from the scene in an ambulance — we’re told several vases were shattered during the brawl in the hotel, and he was taken to a hospital to check for injuries.
Travis remains in police custody, but we’re told he has not been charged with anything yet.
His rep tells us, “We are in direct communication with the local Parisian authorities to swiftly resolve this matter and will provide updates when appropriate.”
Travis Scott couldn’t put up much of a fight during his arrest … ’cause dramatic new video shows Paris Police sent the cavalry to get him — with several cops dragging him away and eventually taking him to a hospital via ambulance.
In the new video, police arrive at the George V luxury hotel in the City of Light … where they approach Scott and handcuff him in the boujee lobby — in full view of all the guests and photogs outside.
Soon after, Travis is dragged outside by three police officers — a pretty big group for just one dude — and throw him down into the backseat of the police vehicle.
