Rap superstar Kanye West has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a photographer as he was leaving the Tup Tup nightclub in Newcastle, England.

The photographer, Terry Blackburn, claims his face was cut and bruised after the rapper shoved the camera in his face and screamed: “Get the fucking camera off!”

“We can confirm that a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault following an incident at a Newcastle city center club in the early hours of this morning,” said a Northumbria Police spokeswoman. “He was released without charge and no further action is being taken.”

Earlier in the night, the “Love Lockdown” hitmaker performed a sold-out show at the Metro Radio Arena as part of his “Glow in the Dark” world tour.
