Actor Matthew Fox (Lost, Party of Five) was arrested in Cleveland on Monday after allegedly punching a woman in the chest and stomach.
According to a police report obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, he is accused of attempted to hitch a ride to his hotel aboard a private party bus. The driver, a 29-year-old female, blocked the entrance and informed Fox that he could not board, as the bus had been rented out.
Fox is alleged to have punched the driver in the chest and stomach, before receiving a blow to the mouth in return. The woman suspected she may have broken her hand and would be seeking medical attention if needed.
According to TMZ, bus driver Heather Bormann says Fox smelled “like a bar” and she intends to press charges.
Bormann says she warned him several times to stop trying to get on the private bus Saturday night but she claims “he just stepped in for a right hook to my pelvis area and started wailing on me like I was a man.”
Fox, who was in town filming I, Alex Cross, has since been released to a friend and brought back to his hotel.
Fox is also filming the zombie action-drama World War Z, co-starring Brad Pitt and Bryan Cranston.

$20 bucks says the lady bus driver is out for a buck and he did nothing wrong.
@ Natasha it always amazes me that when a man hits a woman, in this country in particular, it is most harshly frowned upon whereas it should be like that if a man hits any person, not just a woman. Also, maybe not in this case, but in some cases the woman wholeheartedly deserves it such as in an act of self defence. To me there’s no difference if he hit a man or a woman it is still just as wrong.
Applauds the women driver for hitting him back. I was never a fan of Matthew Fox and Jack Shepard and now I hate him for hitting a woman. The lowest of low.
Side-note : he’s in world war Z? Urrrrgh. The more I hear about the projct, the less I’m liking it (Major fan of the book). Sigh
Did someone make a joke about Speed Racer?
Life imitating art?
As Seth Rogen says about Matthew Fox in Knocked Up –
“You know what’s interesting about him?”
“Nothing”
“Will you tell him he’s an a*$hole for me?”
“Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I just don’t give a s@#t. I’m just saying he deserves a beat-down.”
Maybe he wants to go back to the Island again.
“punched the driver in the chest and stomach, before receiving a blow to the mouth in return”
take that Matthew Fox. Go woman bus driver!!, punching him back.
Sounds like the alcoholic Jack Shephard from the season 3 flashforward.
“we have to go baaaaaaaaaaaaaack”
