Knight Knocked Unconscious With Car Appliance

LATEST: Hip-hop mogul MARION 'SUGE' KNIGHT was reportedly knocked unconscious by a man branding a tyre iron, during a confrontation at a Hollywood nightclub at the weekend (10May08).

The Death Row Records founder was enjoying a night out at Shag on Saturday (10May08) when he and his entourage got involved in a verbal altercation with an unnamed man, which resulted in Knight being knocked out cold for almost three minutes.

Reports initially suggested the fight had resulted from an argument about money, but sources now claim that while Knight did exchange words with a partygoer about cash, it was another man who was responsible for his beating.

According to Ballerstatus.net, Knight became angry when he realised someone was filming his heated conversation on a cell phone. Knight is then reported to have grabbed the onlooker and held him in a headlock as he tried to confiscate the mobile.

But the assailant broke free and ran out of the club, chased by members of Knight's crew. Shortly afterwards, the man pulled up in his car in front of Shag, before opening his trunk and retrieving what is alleged to have been a tyre iron - which he then used to strike Knight on the back of his head.

Knight was taken to hospital after the incident, but has refused to help police with their enquiries. He has since said he will handle the incident "internally".
