Bam Margera reportedly "fled into a wooded area" before police arrived at the scene.
Police in Pennsylvania have issued an arrest warrant for former Jackass cast member and professional skateboarder Brandon (Bam) Margera after he was allegedly involved in a “physical confrontation,” authorities said Monday.
Pennsylvania State Police said Margera, 43, caused “minor injuries” to a victim in Chester County, Pa., on Sunday morning.
According to ABC-affiliate local news station WHTM, Margera is facing four counts of terroristic threats and one count of simple assault, all of which are misdemeanour charges. TMZ reported that Margera is also facing an additional misdemeanour harassment charge.
Several reports allege Margera attacked his brother after leaving a signed note threatening to kill him if he called police. An affidavit of probable cause claimed Margera also threatened to kill everyone in the house where his brother was living, including his father and two women.
Margera reportedly “fled into a wooded area” before police arrived at the scene at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
Representatives for Margera have not commented publicly on the arrest warrant.
Margera, who is from the nearby town of Thornton, Pa., has not been seen publicly since the warrant for his arrest was issued on Monday.
