Former Channel Seven host, Andrew O’Keefe, has reportedly been arrested today over allegations he choked, punched and kicked a potential business partner.
Police allege Mr O’Keefe, 50, allegedly assaulted the woman after meeting her at his unit on Kent Street in the Sydney CBD on Tuesday.
“A verbal argument ensued between the pair, before the man allegedly assaulted the woman – grabbing her by the throat, pushing her to the ground and punching her,” a police spokesman told Daily Mail.
Police say the former Deal or No Deal and The Chase host then allegedly assaulted the woman a second time by punching and kicking her.
The woman then left the unit and reported the alleged assault to police yesterday.
Mr O’Keefe is expected to be charged and face court today.
