Trey Songz appeared in Manhattan criminal court in New York City on Sunday in connection with accusations of punching a Times Square nightclub employee in the face.
Prosecutors in Manhattan said that the R&B singer, 41, ‘became needlessly irate’ when a worker at the Dramma Night Club told him that the club was closing around 4 a.m. on December 4, The New York Post reported Sunday.
The person who was punched experienced ‘swelling and substantial pain’ as a result of the hit from the singer, prosecutors said in legal documents reviewed by the newspaper.
The Petersburg, Virginia-born vocalist, whose real name is Tremaine Aldon Neverson, was charged with assault in connection to the incident, according to the publication.
The Na Na artist also was hit with a second-degree mischief charge over what the outlet described as an ‘unrelated incident’ earlier on Sunday at the Manhattan restaurant Mira.
Songz’s counsel Mitchell Schuster told the Daily Mail in a statement: ‘Trey Songz was charged in connection with an incident that occurred last week. He is cooperating fully and looks forward to the facts coming to light.
