Lady Leshurr Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting a Woman in East London

Lady Leshurr Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting a Woman in East London

Rapper Lady Leshurr was arrested in the early hours of this morning on suspicious of assaulting a woman in a fight.

The 34-year-old artist was filmed being led away by police in handcuffs at around 5am in Walthamstow, East London.

In the video footage, the rapper is seen wearing a white cropped vest top and a baseball hat.

Witnesses claim that neighbours were woken up by a  "a screaming match" between Lady Leshurr and two other women.

Police have confirmed that a 27-year-old woman was found with some minor injuries.

A witness reported that a friend of Leshurr's attempted to remove her from the situation after an argument with a woman in a car.

"One of the girls she'd been arguing with was in a car, and Lady Leshurr jumped into the car and tried to get her out."

The woman in the car allegedly asked some neighbours to call the police and witnesses reported seeing another woman in the car.

The Dancing on Ice star, whose real name Melesha O'Garro, was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) in 2020 for services to music and charity after rising to fame through a series of YouTube freestyle raps - Queen's Speech series.

The witness continued,

"I saw her and I thought "is this really the person you hear on the radio?"

"The noise of the scuffle woke me up - you could hear the commotion kicking off. It was very loud."

"I'm happy the police came when they did because it could've been worse."

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "Police were called at 05:08hrs on Saturday, 22 October to Knotts Green Mews, E10 following reports of a fight at the location."

"Two women – both aged 27 – were taken to hospital. They have since been discharged."

"A 34-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm."

"She remains in custody."

Lady Leshurr's representatives are yet to make a comment on the incident.
