Former B2K member Raz B is reportedly receiving medical attention after being attacked this week in a nightclub overseas with a glass bottle.
A graphic photo of Raz's injury and details of the hospitalization have surfaced.
Raz-B -- the former B2K singer -- was hospitalized in China yesterday after someone smashed him in the mouth with a glass bottle ... turning his face into a bloody mess. The 28-year-old R&B star was performing at a nightclub in Zhejiang (birthplace of Qian Xuesen -- the "Father of Chinese Rocketry" ... yay science!). Raz's rep tells TMZ ... during the performance, he noticed a fistfight in the crowd and went to go break it up -- when someone swung a bottle right into his moneymaker, causing several cuts ... including a deep gash on his lip. We're told the Chinese police immediately stepped in ... grabbing the attacker AND Raz -- and dragging them both to jail. (TMZ)
Despite the ample injuries, Raz will reportedly not seek any legal action.
Cops quickly released Raz after determining he did nothing wrong. Raz's rep says cops made the bottle thrower fork over roughly $5,000 to pay for Raz's medical expenses. After the drama at the police station, Raz was finally taken to a hospital, where he underwent a 1-hour surgical procedure to repair the "hole" in his lip. The wound also required 4 stitches. Raz issued a statement to TMZ saying, "F**k this s**t hurts. I have a f**king hole in my lip. Thank god I made it to the hospital." Raz -- who's been in living in China for the past 3 years -- says he doesn't plan on pursuing legal action. He also says he plans to move back to the U.S. before the end of the year to focus on a "big comeback." (TMZ)
Coincidentally, Raz nearly cut off his hand in a freak hotel accident last summer.
Raz B, former B2K singer, almost lost his hand after a freak accident at his hotel in China after a performance. According to TMZ, the 27-year-old fell through a glass door in his hotel and sliced his wrist open, causing him to lose a large amount of blood. The singer says that the glass tore down to his bone before he passed out and was rushed to the hospital. Doctors at Huashan Hospital at Fudan University operated for 5 hours to fix his torn ligament. Raz, who was released on Monday, has cancelled the remainder of his tour until further notice. (VIBE)
