Eminem was hit with an assault and battery lawsuit on Thursday (June 3) by a Detroit man who claims the rapper hit him two years ago while at a local strip club.
According to reports, the incident occurred in 2006 when the alleged victim, Miad Jarbou, approached Em in the bathroom of Cheetah's On The Strip Gentleman's Club. Jarbou told Detroit police that he approached the urinal bound Em to meet the star and was turned away by his body guard. It is at that time that Jarbou alleges that Em stepped back from the urinal and "sucker punched" him.
Jarbou subsequently dropped the charges but according to The Detroit News, he is now filing a lawsuit claiming that the incident has made him "undergo physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, ongoing serious injuries requiring medical treatment" and "embarrassment, humiliation, medical expenses, wage loss and other economic and non-economic."
The alleged victim is looking for more that $25,000 in damages.
At press time, Em's spokesman, Dennis Dennehy, declined to comment on the lawsuit.
