Busta Rhymes Turns Himself in for Assault After Alleged Altercation

Rapper Busta Rhymes is facing multiple assault charges after an alleged altercation with his assistant in NYC … TMZ has learned.

On January 10, Busta got into an argument with Dashiel Gables over him being on his phone during work hours in the lobby of Gables’ condo building in the downtown Brooklyn area, according to law enforcement sources.

We’re told the dispute soon escalated into violence when Busta slugged Gables multiple times in the face.

Our sources say Busta took off after the alleged assault, and Gables called 911. Police and paramedics quickly arrived on scene and took Gables to a nearby hospital to be treated for a reported eye injury.

On Tuesday, Busta turned himself in to the NYPD and was given a desk appearance ticket (DAT) for misdemeanor assault, attempted assault, and harassment. A DAT means the rapper is handed a date to appear in court to address the charges.
