Conor McGregor is in police custody at the NYPD's 78th precinct after an earlier altercation Thursday at UFC 223 Media Day, reports NBC News.
The 29-year-old is expected to be charged with assault following the incident at Barclays Center where he was captured on video interpreting UFC 223 press conference.
UFC president Dana White claimed a warrant was out for his arrest earlier but multiple outlets reported that the NYPD had not issued a warrant and instead was wanted for questioning.

Although he was intercepted by a staff member, McGregor continued to show his anger before fleeing to an SUV.
