UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor has surrendered to New York police, but has not yet been charged, after taking part in a chaotic attack on a bus carrying fighters following a media event at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
McGregor surrendered to authorities at the NYPD’s 78th Precinct, a police spokesman told Reuters. He has not been immediately charged with anything, as the police investigation into the incident is ongoing.

The 29-year-old decided to turn himself in after attacking the fighters’ bus, apparently hunting for Khabib Nurmagomedov. The incident occurred right after the media day for UFC 223 at the Barclays Center at around 1:30 pm, when the fighters were leaving the venue on a bus.
McGregor, who arrived with his entourage at the very end of the media day, was apparently hunting for Russian UFC star Nurmagomedov, who had a heated confrontation with McGregor’s friend and sparring partner Artem Lobov in the fighters’ hotel just two days ago. The incident was caught by cell phone cameras from different angles.
