Kanye West might have new legal trouble on his hands — he’s the named suspect in a battery report, and cops are now looking into the claims against him … TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us … police are investigating Ye after cops say they were told he punched a man in the face late Tuesday night — but the guy he struck had allegedly pushed or grabbed West’s wife, Bianca Censori.
We’re told Kanye and Bianca took off after the alleged altercation … and, the alleged victim did not require treatment for injuries.
We’re told police plan on reaching out to Kanye for his side of the story, and will also speak to witnesses.
