Police: Rap Producer ‘Suge’ Knight Injured In Arizona Hotel Fight

PHOENIX (AP) - A beating has left rap producer Marion ‘Suge’ Knight hospitalized in Arizona.

Police say it happened early Monday at a private party in a hotel in Scottsdale.

Two men were arrested including a man who said he is the business manager for hip-hop singer Akon.

Scottsdale police spokesman Sgt. Mark Clark says Akon was not present when the scuffle occurred.

Clark says officers arrived and saw a man identified as 38-year-old Robert Carnes, Jr., of Bethlehem, Pa., twice punch Knight in the face.

Police booked Carnes and a man identified as 33-year-old Thomas Leon Anderson, Jr., of California, on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.
