On Monday night, 69 reached to his fans on social media and invited them to be involved in a shoot for his new video the following day.
However, after they turned up in their hundreds on the streets of the Crown Heights neighbourhood, the police broke it up to stop overcrowding.
Teka$hi also did not have a valid permit for the production of the video, according to law enforcement sources.
Police allegedly told the rapper that he was in a dangerous situation amid a series of vicious online threats aimed at him, so took him away from the situation to protect him.
TMZ claim that 69 was taken to the police station for his safety, not to arrest him, and his team picked him up from there.
This week's police run-in follows an incident which saw the rapper become involved in a physical airport brawl at LAX last week.
Meanwhile, 69 recently dropped his debut mixtape 'Day69', which features his viral hit "Gummo" as well as collaborations with Offset, Tory Lanez and Young Thug.
