Rapper Young Buck [ tickets ] of the rap group G-Unit, who was wanted in connection with a stabbing at the Vibe Music Awards this week, turned himself in to Santa Monica Police on Friday (11/19).

According to police, the rapper--whose real name is David Darnell Brown--was charged with one count of attempted murder and one count of assault with a deadly weapon. He was booked into the Santa Monica Jail and released after posting $500,000 bail, his attorney told reporters on Friday afternoon.

Police said that Brown refused to give a statement to detectives investigating the case.

An arrest warrant was issued for Brown after police alleged he was one of three people seen holding knives in the melee that ensued after a man--later identified as Los Angeles resident Jimmy James Johnson, 26--approached rapper Dr. Dre during the awards ceremony and punched him several times.

"Brown is seen [in video footage] with a knife in hand and attempting to reach Johnson," Lt. Frank Fabrega said in a press statement. "At one point, Brown is seen lunging over another male and swinging the knife at Johnson's upper body while Johnson is looking away from him. Brown is clearly depicted as holding the knife after the assault and is one of a number of fight participants who is pepper sprayed by officers attempting to stop the unlawful assaults."

Police are still trying to identify the two other knife-wielding men they spotted on a videotape of the incident.
