Sweden charges U.S. rapper A$AP Rocky with assault
STOCKHOLM - U.S. rapper A$AP Rocky will be tried for assault in Sweden starting on July 30 over his alleged involvement in a street brawl in central Stockholm last month, the Swedish public prosecutor announced on Thursday.
Over half a million people, including fellow artists Nicki Minaj and Post Malone, have signed an online petition calling for his release on bail. “The artist is the one who threw the victim to the ground and then, together with two other suspects, dealt him blows and kicks. A bottle was used during the assault and there are cuts on the arms and the plaintiff’s ear,” Suneson told Reuters.
Suneson declined to say which of the suspects had wielded the bottle in the fight. Court documents described the plaintiff as a person needing a Persian translator, but did not provide any further details.Mayers’ lawyer said the rapper would plead not guilty at the trial when it begins on Tuesday.
