Rapper Busta Rhymes accused of punching a man in the face in New York

Busta Rhymes is facing a third-degree assault charge for allegedly punching a man in the face in Brooklyn, New York, earlier this month.
The incident occurred on January 10 during a verbal dispute near Jay and Front streets, resulting in the victim suffering facial swelling.

This incident is not Rhymes' first legal issue, as he faced a second-degree assault charge in 2015 after allegedly throwing a protein drink at a gym employee.
