The recent physical altercation involving Tarek El Moussa in Las Vegas has taken a new turn, as the man involved in the fight has expressed his desire to press charges. The 51-year-old man, identified as the “victim” in the incident, recounted the altercation to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, detailing the events that unfolded at The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort on June 5.
According to the police report, Tarek allegedly charged at the man and shoved him after the man interacted with his elderly father. The altercation escalated as both men took a fighting stance, with the victim attempting to take Tarek down to the floor. Tarek retaliated by striking the man with his knee, causing him to fall, and then proceeded to mount his back and deliver several strikes to his head before walking away. The man sustained visible injuries, including a bruise beneath his right eye and a cut on his nose.
Despite the physical altercation, Tarek claimed to police that he was defending his father, who had allegedly been hit by the man. The victim, on the other hand, stated that he was approached aggressively by someone he did not know and defended himself in the situation. He expressed his intent to press charges against Tarek for his actions.
Us Weekly reached out to Tarek for comment on the incident, but no response has been received at this time. It was confirmed earlier this month that Tarek was in Las Vegas with his parents and wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, to support his speaking event. Heather took to Instagram to share details of their trip, highlighting Tarek’s onstage performance and the special experience of having their parents present.
The incident has sparked controversy and raised questions about the events leading up to the altercation. As the legal proceedings unfold, the consequences of the fight remain to be seen. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
