Kanye West has escaped to Paris Fashion Week after being accused of assaulting a teenager.

The "Bound 2" hitmaker, who is being investigated by police after allegedly pummelling an 18-year-old man with over 30 blows after he made homophobic and racial slurs at the rapper's fiancee Kim Kardashian in Beverly Hills on Monday, was spotted arriving at Charles De Gaulle international airport in the French capital alone this morning.

"He's in town for fashion week, for the men's shows," a source said.

The rapper is expected to attend his friend Riccardo Tisci's Givenchy show at lunchtime on Friday.

Prosecutors are currently investigating the 36-year-old star, who pled no contest to attacking a photographer in 2008 and still has another battery case pending, for felony assault and battery connected to the incident on Monday.
