Based on his inmate report, Blueface was booked on charges of attempted murder, use of a deadly weapon as well as discharging a gun into an occupied structure, vehicle, or craft. He was scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday. The 25-year-old was also booked for operating an unregistered vehicle, trailer, or semi.

TMZ was able to obtain video footage of the actual arrest.

The footage shows Blueface and Chrisean on a bench while they are looking at their phones. In a sudden movement, a team of undercover police officers rushed over to him and threw him against the wall as they arrested him on an open warrant.

The person who recorded the video is just as shocked and thought he was being robbed. You can hear him asking why did they have to rush him in the fashion that they did. He is then seen being helped up and handcuffed as the police officers take him to their vehicle.
