Matthew Fox, 45, was detained by police on Sunday night and taken into custody in Cleveland, Ohio, after an altercation outside a bar with a female driver after he attempt to get on board a party bus that he was not a guest on.
Heather Bormann, the bus driver claimed the actor punched her in “the breast and stomach area” after she attempted to stop him from boarding.
“He just kept staring at me with his mouth wide open and not saying anything,” she told TMZ.
“I told him, <<You have to leave, buddy. You are trespassing on my bus>>.”
Matthew Fox, who Bormann believed was drunk, then “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,” Bormann said.
“This was the only way I could protect myself… from a man beating up on a woman.”
The actor was later released without charge, into the custody of a friend, but the issue is still under investigation and an assault report was filed.
Matthew Fox fame was raised through his role on Lost, which ran from 2004 to 2010.
The actor is married to Margherita Ronchi, whom he met whilst at college and the pair married in 1991 not long after graduating. Matthew Fox and Margherita Ronci have two sons, Kyle and Byron.
