'Obsessed' Rihanna fan released from custody

Obsessed' Rihanna fan released from custody



An 'obsessed' fan of Rihanna has reportedly been released from custody after being arrested outside the star's New York apartment building last week.

TMZ report that Salmir Feratovic is back on the streets after pleading guilty to criminal trespass after his Tuesday morning arrest.

Feratovic was pictured in handcuffs near Rihanna's luxury apartment building, after previously being stopped outside the address twice last year.



TMZ report that prosecutors wanted Feratovic to be locked up for five days after his most recent arrest, a request to which the judge agreed.

But Feratovic was released on Wednesday afternoon due to time already served.

An NYPD spokesperson confirmed to E! News that the 33-year-old was booked for criminal trespassing. The spokesperson said he had visited the residence before and was told then he was not allowed to return.

Feratovic has reportedly told TMZ that his arrest will 'not deter him from his relentless pursuit' of Rihanna.



He was seen outside the same apartment building on two occasions in 2016, where he was stopped by the doorman.

The second incident saw the police called with reports at the time alleging he had a knife on him.

A representative for Rihanna has been contacted for comment.

Rihanna has been spending time at her New York home over the past week, where she's been working on new music in the studio.

She was also honoured for her contribution to fashion at the Parsons School of Design on Monday.
