The sound engineer Travis Scott allegedly attacked at a New York club says the rapper flipped the bird on him and hit him in the head, landing him in the hospital with injuries.< /p>

Identifying only as Mark, the engineer spoke to Fox 5 News from his hospital bed following the alleged assault at Club Nebula in Manhattan early Wednesday morning.

Mark said he couldn't turn his head and "My neck is screwed up. My arm is tingling. I have pins and needles coming down."

He also described the events that led to the violence, saying Travis played the DJ's music so loudly that the sound was distorted. When Mark tried to turn the volume down, he said Travis went mad.

Travis "put his middle finger in my face," Mark said, adding, "So I lowered the monitor a bit so I could talk to him, and that's when he ran around from the loudspeaker and attacked me."

As we reported... Travis made a surprise appearance at the club on Tuesday night to perform with his protege, Don Toliver.

After Travis collapsed in the DJ booth, he allegedly attacked the sound engineer and caused $12,000 in damage to a speaker and video screen, before leaving the club.
