Rapper Busta Rhymes is headed back to Manhattan Criminal Court tomorrow on charges pending from an August assault charge.

Rhymes was arrested Aug. 19 after a 19-year-old Bronx man, Roberto LeBron, accused the rapper of kicking him in the head after LeBron's spit accidentally hit the star's SUV near Gramercy Park.

Cops said they found a 10-inch machete in the car near where Rhymes, 34, was sitting when they picked him up following a weekend concert at the Randalls Island AmsterJam Festival. The rap artist, whose real name is Trevor Smith, was charged with assault, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon.

He was released without bail after spending a night in jail as cops tried to use the arrest to grill him about the unsolved Feb. 5 murder of his bodyguard Israel Ramirez. Ramirez, 29, was gunned down during Rhymes' video shoot in Brooklyn, reputedly because of a rap-world beef with Tony Yayo, a fixture in 50 Cent's posse.

LeBron, who waited six days to file the assault complaint, has said he plans to sue. His attorney Gregory Tembeck said he's still evaluating his client's medical records.

Meanwhile, hip-hop star Foxy Brown will hear today whether a Manhattan judge will allow her to withdraw an earlier guilty plea to misdemeanor assault charges. Brown thought she would be placed on probation for admitting she slugged a manicurist in a fight two years ago.

When she learned the deal could require her to submit to periodic drug testing and anger management classes for three years, the 27-year-old songbird balked and asked to withdraw her plea.
