It read: "I can confirm that on August 9, 2024, shortly after 5 a.m., the police were called to the Georges V Hotel and arrested the man nicknamed Travis Scott for assaulting a security guard. The latter had himself intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard. The 1st judicial police district was seized of the investigation by the Paris prosecutor's office."

The footage shows Travis being restrained by officers inside a hotel before being escorted into a police vehicle. Earlier in the week, news broke that Travis had a previous charge of disorderly intoxication dropped. This charge stemmed from an altercation on a yacht in Miami back in June.

However, he still faces a trespassing charge. Following the Miami incident, Travis was detained at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Centre for causing a "disturbance" on a charter boat.

According to the Miami Beach Police Department, he was "drunk causing a disturbance and asked to leave multiple times." After refusing to depart from the charter boat, Travis was taken into custody, and his mugshot was circulated by the Miami Dade Corrections facility.

At the hearing, which the music artist did not attend, it was confirmed that the state of Florida is expected to proceed with the misdemeanour trespassing charge. The rapper is scheduled for trial on September 10. This incident follows his alleged involvement in a brawl with Kylie Jenner's ex-boyfriend Tyga's friend at a Cannes party.
