No arrest warrant has been issued.

Police in New York have confirmed they are investigating Thursday evening’s incident involving Conor McGregor.

An NYPD spokesperson said they are trying to work with the facts and said that no arrest warrants have been issued.

The incident in question saw McGregor and his entourage storm the UFC 223 media day at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

UFC president Dana White said the incident was “the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in the history of the company” and claimed an arrest warrant had been issued for McGregor.

“Right now, we don’t have units out there searching for him or anything like that,” NYPD spokesperson Lt. Tarik Sheppard told MMAjunkie. “We’re just trying to make contact.”

Footage has emerged seemingly showing McGregor breaking a window on a coach carrying members of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s team. Fighter Michael Chiesa was injured during the incident but is understood to still be keen on competing at UFC 223 on Saturday night.

Artem Lobov, on the other hand, has been pulled from the card.
