According to the New York Post newspaper, the 44-year-old photographer is claiming unspecified damages for “physical, mental and emotional illness” as a result of the incident at the show, which Kanye was paid $1 million for and was best remembered for a performance by topless, helmet-wearing dancers.
The suit states Vazquez, who was invited to the event to photograph and report, was assaulted by Kanye and his “employees”.
It states: “West, his agents, servants and/or employees acting in the course and within the scope of their employment, detained and/or threatened and/or caused plaintiff to suffer injuries.
The assault and battery was committed by defendant, Kanye West, [his] agents, servants and/or employees, with malice.”
According to police sources, a report was filed the next day by Vazquez, claiming his camera and phone was taken by security of either the restaurant or the rapper. He also claimed to have suffered a dislocated shoulder in the scuffle.
