Kanye West may have new legal troubles on his hands — he’s the suspect named in an assault report, and cops are now investigating the allegations against him… TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us … police are investigating Ye after cops say he punched a man in the face Tuesday night — but the guy he hit allegedly pushed or grabbed West’s wife, Bianca Censori.
We’re told Kanye and Bianca fled after the alleged altercation… and the alleged victim did not require treatment for her injuries.
We’re told police plan to contact Kanye to get his side of the story and will also speak to witnesses.

BACKGROUND
This isn’t the first time Ye has found himself at the center of an assault investigation… remember, cops investigated a 2023 incident where video showed him taking a photographer’s phone, and throw him into an intersection. Ultimately, he was not charged.

Furthermore, a man sued Ye for assault and battery earlier this year… claiming the rap star assaulted him in downtown Los Angeles in 2022 after saying “I’m going to make an example of you.”
We reached out to Kanye’s team… so far, no response.
