Overview

• The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department cited El Moussa for battery following a June 5 altercation at The Palazzo that was captured on surveillance video when he kneed the man to the floor before striking his head multiple times.
• Video shows the confrontation began after the other man bumped into El Moussa’s father’s chair before patting his shoulder near a roulette table.
• The alleged victim suffered bruising under his right eye along with a cut on the bridge of his nose while refusing on-scene medical attention.
• Officers read El Moussa his Miranda rights before issuing a citation rather than making an arrest.
• El Moussa’s attorneys intend to contest the battery citation by invoking self-defense on behalf of his elderly father with back problems.
