Channel 7 host and former White Ribbon chairman Andrew O'Keefe has been arrested and charged with assault.
The 50-year-old was arrested early on Thursday after getting into an argument with a 38-year-old woman in a Sydney CBD unit, which ended in O'Keefe allegedly assaulting her, police said.
He is accused of "grabbing her by the throat, pushing her to the ground and punching her", police said in a statement.
He also "allegedly assaulted the woman a second time - punching and kicking her - before she left the unit".
