The newly-surfaced surveillance footage shows the moment before the street brawl broke out as the bodyguard is seen grabbing the alleged victim, Mustafa Jafari, by his throat and tossing him down the ground.

AceShowbiz - A new video of A$AP Rocky's street brawl in Sweden has surfaced online. The video captured a pretty brutal moment before the scuffle broke out on June 30 as the rapper's bodyguard was caught on camera getting physical with the alleged victim, Mustafa Jafari.

The bodyguard and Mustafa were seen engaging in a heated conversation on the sidewalk, with the former possibly telling the latter to leave the rapper alone. The bodyguard was later seen grabbing Mustafa by his throat, lifting him off the ground and tossing him down the street. A$AP Rocky is nowhere to seen in this video, obtained by TMZ. Moments after the choking, Mustafa allegedly threw a punch at the bodyguard and then hit him with his headphones.

A$AP Rocky and two members of his entourage, Bladimir Emilio Corniel and David Tyrone Rispers, have been arrested in Stockholm since earlier this month. The "F***in' Problems" hitmaker has been charged with assault causing actual bodily harm, but the bodyguard has not been charged.

His trial began on July 30, during which he pleaded not guilty. He has been maintaining that he acted in self-defense. The trial was attended by the U.S. presidential envoy for hostage affairs sent by Donald Trump administration. Robert C. O'Brien, the U.S. top diplomat, was present to monitor the trial.

Mustafa said in his testimony that he feared A$AP Rocky and his entourage "were going to beat me to death." The 19-year-old said earlier this week, "While I'm talking to them, all of a sudden one of these guys comes from behind and hits me with a bottle."

Mustafa was taken to the hospital where he received treatment for cuts to his face and hands. He got 13 stitches and suffered a fractured rib. His lawyer Magnus Stromberg claimed Mustafa didn't provoke the assault and that "there was no reason, none whatsoever, for the use of such violence."
