Kanye West is once again facing charges for using his fists but this time it's for fiancée Kim Kardashian's sake. According to a source close to Kardashian, the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star was verbally assaulted earlier today in Beverly Hills and the incident may lead to the arrest of North West's father.

According to the source, a man hurled obscenities at the reality television star, calling her a "n----- lover," while Kardashian was on her way to a meeting in Beverly Hills. The attack left her "shaken," the source added.

Meanwhile the Beverly Hills Police Department reported that the 36-year-old rapper has become a suspect in a misdemeanor battery following his fiancée's attack. According to an online news site, Kanye West punched the man who verbally assaulted Kardashian in Beverly Hills.

According to the source, the man was left with a broken nose and needing stitches before West was separated from the victim by a security guard.

The confrontation reportedly started when a young man who attempted to assist Kardashian into the building began calling the photographers and paparazzi taking pictures of the reality TV star homophobic and racial slurs.

When Kim Kardashian reprimanded him, telling him that his language was "inappropriate," the source said that the young man turned on her and started hurling obscenities at the designer.

"She was completely disgusted," the source added during the interview with ABC News. "She came to the paparazzi's defense because she couldn't believe what he was saying."

A representative for Kanye West was not immediately available for comment regarding his battery charges.

A representative for Kim Kardashian declined to comment about the incident.
