Suge Knight collapsed in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom today just moments after finding out his bail is set at $25 million.

According to the Los Angeles Time, Los Angeles Fire Department officials wheeled a gurney into the courtroom and assisted Knight, who was unconscious, his attorney, Matthew Fletcher, said.

“Just, bam,” he said. “He’s unconscious right now.”

Knight has reportedly been taken the hospital ward jail, where he is being carefully evaluated.

Deputy Dist. Atty. Cynthia J. Barnes told the LA Times that she believed Knight “did it in front of the cameras.”

During the hearing, Barnes listed some 31 incidents in the last decade in which Knight was accused of acting violently or threatening to do so.

Most recently, Knight is accused of running over and killing Terry Carter and critically injuring Cle “Bone” Sloan on January 29 in a parking lot following an argument on the set of a Straight Outta Compton film commercial.

The music mogul is charged with murder, attempted murder and two counts of hit-and-run with an allegation that he committed a violent felony while out on bail in another case.
