On Wednesday in Vegas, Flavor Flav was attacked in a casino.

While at the casino, a man accused Flav of offending his mother, and then just starting punching him. The video starts after Flav is already on the ground getting punched, as he tries to cover himself. Cops took the man into custody, where he was cited for battery and released. The security footage has been given to police, showing that Ugandi Hoawrd, the attacker, threw the first punch.

Flav was sent to the hospital with minor injuries.
