Meek Mill Handcuffed Outside NYC Club, Released After NYPD Gun-Tip Search

Police say a firearm tip led to a search that turned up nothing.

Overview

  • Officers stopped a vehicle shortly after 4 a.m. near Harbor NYC in Hell's Kitchen after receiving a report of a man with a gun.
  • An NYPD spokesperson said the car matched a description and license plate from the tip, and a search found no weapon, resulting in no arrests.
  • Video circulating online shows Meek Mill with his hands behind his back as officers question him outside the club, though it does not capture the full interaction.
  • Meek Mill posted that he was pulled from his car, handcuffed, and had guns pointed at him, calling the encounter embarrassing and alleging he was being targeted.
  • Police and club-security accounts reported that a bouncer suspected he had a firearm and that surveillance showed him place an unknown item in his car before returning to the venue.
