NEW YORK (AP)- Nas, born Nasir Ben Olu Dara Jones, turned himself in to police and was charged with assault for allegedly throwing a bottle at a man during a fight in a Manhattan nightclub.

Jones, 30, surrendered on Wednesday. He was with several other people on Dec. 10 at the Greenwich Village club Ciclo when an unidentified man approached his table and claimed Nas had grabbed him.

A fight followed but a bouncer broke it up. While the bouncer was talking to Jones, he reportedly grabbed a bottle and threw it at the unidentified man, hitting him in the head and cutting him, police said.
