Tarek El Moussa may be facing legal trouble following a battery citation for his involvement in a Las Vegas brawl earlier this month.
According to the incident report filed by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and obtained by Fox News Digital, the 51-year-old man – only identified as “the victim” in the documents – told authorities he wanted to press charges against El Moussa after the physical altercation that took place in The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort on June 5.
Video surveillance, reviewed by authorities per the report, allegedly shows that El Moussa “charged” at the man and “shoved him” after he witnessed a heated exchange between the man and his dad.

According to police, the victim suffered a “purple and reddish” bruise beneath his right eye and a half-inch cut on his nose.
