Sgt. Andre Pepin says the bodyguard suffered “non-serious injuries,” and was treated in hospital.

He says police have no suspects.

In a posting on its Facebook site, The Venue suggested it had unresolved issues with T.I.’s management regarding cancellation of paid “meet and greets” with fans, among other issues related to the show running late.

The rapper was scheduled to play the Halifax Exhibition Centre on Tuesday night.
