NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Rapper Travis Scott is wanted by the NYPD after he reportedly punched a sound engineer and damaged a speaker worth $12,000 at a Manhattan club early Wednesday.

Scott, 31, who remains at large, is wanted on charges of misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief in the incident, a source told 1010 WINS.

The "Sicko Mode" rapper got into a fight inside the club Nebula on West 41st Street near Broadway around 2 a.m. During the altercation, the rapper punched the 52-year-old man and broke the expensive speaker with a video screen, police and sources told the New York Post.

The victim didn't complain of pain or have any visible injuries, police told the Post.

Scott then reportedly fled west on West 41st Street in an unknown vehicle.

1010 WINS has reached out to Scott's representatives as well as the club for comment.

Scott previously ran into legal trouble related to a rowdy 2021 performance at Houston's Astroworld Festival, where he continued to perform despite a massive crowd surge that resulted in the deaths of 10 people and hundreds of injuries.
