Allegedly, the 44 year-old Manhattan photographer, Michael Vazquez, was roughed up by Ye’s folks at Guastavino’s for an event. Specifically, he claims that Ye’s security team “assaulted, battered, beat and threatened” him. The law suit says that West, “his agents, servants and/or employees . . . caused plaintiff to suffer injuries,” and accuses them of “assault and battery.” Dude is requesting unspecified damages for “physical, mental and emotional illness,” as he suffered a dislocated shoulder.
