Rapper arrested and taken to hospital - and is filmed wandering streets in underwear
US rapper Lil Nas X has been arrested and taken to hospital after being found walking in his underwear on a Los Angeles street and allegedly charging at officers and punching one.
Police said in a statement that officers responded shortly before 6am on Thursday (2pm UK time) following reports of a naked man, according to Sky's US partner NBC News. The LA force said that as officers went to the 11000 block of Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, the man rushed towards them.
"He was transported to a local hospital for a possible overdose and placed under arrest for battery on a police officer," police said. A law enforcement source confirmed to NBC News that the suspect was Montero Lamar Hill, also known as Lil Nas X.
The Old Town Road rapper punched an officer twice in the face during the encounter, according to the NBC source. Officers were unsure whether he was on any substances or in mental distress, the source said.
A representative for Hill did not immediately respond to a request for comment. NBC News cited TMZ footage where Hill was seen walking down the middle of Ventura Boulevard at 4am on Thursday in a pair of white briefs and cowboy boots.

"Uh oh, someone's going to have to pay for that," Hill says as he continues to walk away. In some clips, Hill struts as if he's on a catwalk, posing for onlookers, and at one point he places an orange traffic cone on his head..
