Tekashi 6ix9ine
Brutally Attacked In Florida Gym...
Rushed to Hospital
9:03 PM PT --
Video has surfaced showing a portion of the attack, you see one man
continuously hit Tekashi while the rapper does his best to defend his
face.
Tekashi 6ix9ine
was savagely beaten by a group of men inside a South Florida gym ...
with injuries so bad the controversial rapper was rushed to a hospital
by ambulance.
6ix9ine's attorney, Lance Lazzaro, tells
TMZ ... the rapper was inside the sauna Tuesday at an LA Fitness when
all of the sudden he was attacked by several guys without warning.
Lazzaro says 6ix9ine tried to fight off the combatants, but
there were too many of them, beating him to a pulp before fleeing.
Lance notes 6ix9ine did not have security with him at the time of the
attack.
Gym staff heard the commotion and immediately notified a
manager. Police and EMS were then called to the scene, and he was
transported to a hospital by ambulance.
We've obtained a photo of Tekashi taken from the hospital
where you can see the damage to his face -- with gashes and swelling.
We're told he also suffered injuries to his jaw, ribs and his back.
The next step, Lazzaro says, is he plans to call the Feds to make sure 6ix9ine gets the protection he clearly needs. Remember, he was granted early release from federal prison after cooperating with authorities to land several of his gang member cohorts behind bars.
It's currently unclear if the gym attack had anything to do with Tekashi's cooperation.
