Stylist 'assaulted' at Kanye West gig

Celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch has claimed that he was assaulted at a Kanye West gig earlier this week.

Bloch, who works for Hollywood stars John Travolta and Salma Hayek, was ejected from Madison Square Gardens after security accused him of smoking marijuana.

A source told the New York Post that Bloch was punched in the ribs by security guards.

Speaking about the event, the stylist said: "The whole stadium smelled like pot, and the kids behind us were smoking. I'm sitting there having fun, laughing.

"Then I get an order to go with this man. They say, 'You're leaving, give us your ticket.' I held it up, they took it.

"At that point they grabbed me by my arms to take me out, so I threw my hands up and said, 'You've got to keep off me. I'm no threat'."

He added: "It was complete brutality. One pushed me out with his knee in my back. I still can't wrap my head around this."

A spokesperson for the security team said: "MSG policy is if you are caught smoking an illegal substance it's cause for immediate ejection."
