Suge Knight Knocked Out After Fight at LA's Shag Nightclub

Suge Knight, the notorious founder of Death Row Records, was hospitalized after being assaulted Sunday in Shag Nightclub in Los Angeles.

According to TMZ, Knight was seen by witnesses arguing with a man, reportedly screaming "I want my money!" Suge and his entourage began assaulting the man, when Suge was struck in the face by the other party, and knocked out.

Knight was covered in blood as seen in the photos in the gallery of pics following this release. He was escorted from the club into a black SUV en route to the hospital.

During the fight, a third party was videotaping the beating with a cell phone. Knight witnessed this, and attacked the man with the camera phone. Knight put the man in a headlock and took his phone inside the club.

Following the incident, the victim reportedly left the club, went to a vehicle, and opened the trunk. The man removed an unidentifiable object from the trunk and struck Knight in the back of the head as he stood outside the club .

The attack left a gash on the back of Knight's head, and rendered Knight unconscious on the sidewalk for a period of about 10 minutes. The attacker reportedly fled the scene.

While Knight laid on the sidewalk, a female in Knight's entourage vacated the scene to get a car. Upon pulling in front of the club, the woman wrecked into several vehicles.

Knight declined to file a police report, stating that he will deal with the situation internally.
