Matthew Fox Accused Of Assaulting Woman

Matthew Fox has found himself in hot water with police in Cleveland, Ohio after he was detained by them on Saturday night after he allegedly assaulted a woman.

TMZ reports that the ‘Lost’ star was outside of a bar in Cleveland and tried to get on a party bus parked outside despite the fact that he wasn’t even a guest on it.

The woman, whose name is Heather Bormann, tried to block the actor from getting on the bus and then he snapped and punched her in the breast and stomach area.

Police were then called to the scene and they handcuffed Fox before releasing him to a friend, they never arrested him. The friend put him in a taxi and they went back to his hotel.

Bormann told police that she punched Fox back and hit him in the mouth which caused a cut on his lip, she also told police that she may have “broken her hand during the altercation.”

When TMZ contacted the woman she said that she was the driver for the party bus and when she told him he wasn’t allowed on it he was too drunk to understand. Here is what she says:

“He just kept staring at me with his mouth wide open and not saying anything. I told him, ‘You have to leave buddy. You are trespassing on my bus.’ He leaned in and started punching my crotch and breast. I took one hand to his jaw and he was spitting blood. He stumbled backwards. This was my self-defense, this was the only way I could protect myself…..from a man beating up on a woman.”

Police took an assault report and are currently investigating the incident while Bormann say she is meeting with prosecutors and might press charges against the actor.
