Rapper’s charged in brawl

-

RAPPER G-Eazy was charged with assault after a nightclub brawl that left one scenester needing stitches after a bottle was smashed over his head.

Page Six exclusivel­y reported that the “No Limit” rapper’s crew clashed with another group at the Standard hotel early Friday as Fashion Week parties raged in the hotel’s adjacent swanky clubs, Le Bain and the Boom Boom Room.

Sources told us that at around 12:40 a.m., “something set someone off,” punches were thrown, and in the ensuing melee someone in G-Eazy’s crew ended up hitting socialite Daniel Chetrit — who is the son of real estate developer Joseph Chetrit and is friends with Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid — over the head with a bottle.

Cops tell us that G-Eazy was “charged with assault after a 29-year-old male and 32-yearold male reported being struck by the defendant.” It’s unclear if anyone else was charged, or if Chetrit was one of the people whom G-Eazy allegedly assaulted.

The rapper was arrested Monday at 5:30 p.m. as celebs across the city were readying for the Met Gala. He received a desk appearance ticket and will go before a judge at a later date. Cops tell Page Six that neither of the two people he allegedly punched were hospitaliz­ed.

Multiple sources tell us that Chetrit, whose family briefly owned the iconic Chelsea Hotel, had to get stitches in his head.

Reps for G-Eazy did not respond to request for comment. We attempted to reach Chetrit’s family for comment but did not hear back.

It’s not G-Eazy’s first arrest. In May 2018, he was picked up in Stockholm for assault after he punched a security guard, and was allegedly found with about 1.5 ounces of cocaine. He did not face jail time, but paid a $9,000 fine and restitutio­n to the victim.

The Standard was also the scene of Jay-Z and Solange Knowles’ infamous 2014 elevator incident.
