The alleged assault was the result of a relationship the alleged 28-year-old victim had with the “Tical” rapper’s daughter more than a decade ago.

The man reported facial pain and dizziness but refused medical attention at the scene, the sources said.

A complaint report was filed with the NYPD, but Smith was not arrested, sources said.
