Peter Rosello, the son ofThe Real Housewives of MiamistarAlexia Echevarria, was arrested Wednesday night after an alleged argument with his girlfriend. He was charged with a battery misdemeanor.
The incident began after the unnamed victim told Rosello that she planned to stay at her mother’s home and he became upset, the arrest report states. He then “placed his hand around her neck and pushed her backwards,” the report said.
After Rosello’s girlfriend attempted to remove his hand from her neck, the altercation escalated, according to the report, which said: “The defendant then proceeded to knee the victim in her crotch area, causing her to fall down to the ground. The defendant then kicked the victim once while she was on the ground.”
When authorities arrived at the apartment, they found the victim showed “visible redness on her face and neck area” and expressed “pain and discomfort in crotch area,” the report said. She was treated on the scene for her injuries.
Peacock, which airsRHOM, had no comment on the incident. Reps for Alexia Echevarria’s representatives did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
