The video obtained by Page Six shows Scott being hauled out of the swanky Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris in handcuffs by a trio of police officers, before being placed in a police vehicle. The outlet reports the commotion started after a member of the paparazzi is said to have sneaked into the trunk of Scott's car, enraging Scott. Meanwhile, French prosecutors said Saturday that the custody order for Scott has been extended, without offering further details, per the AP. A rep for the rapper says Scott's team has been "in direct communication with the local Parisian authorities to resolve this matter swiftly and will provide updates when appropriate."

A little over a month after he was arrested following a disturbance with a charter boat crew in Miami, Travis Scott has been arrested again, in Paris. The 33-year-old rapper in town for the Olympics was arrested after an altercation with a security guard at a hotel around 5am local time Friday. The Paris public prosecutor's office said police were called to the Georges V hotel to arrest Scott "for violence against a security guard," who'd allegedly intervened in an altercation between Scott and his own bodyguard, per the AP.

French news outlets describe Scott as intoxicated, per the London Evening Standard. He was also allegedly intoxicated during his arrest in Miami. Hours before Friday's arrest, Scott, born Jacques Webster, had been spotted watching the US beat Serbia in the men's basketball semifinal. (More Travis Scott stories.)
