Raja Jackson, the 25-year-old son of UFC legend Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, was arrested Thursday on felony charges nearly a month after brutally attacking a professional wrestler during a live-streamed event. The younger Jackson is being held on $50,000 bond in Los Angeles County jail following the August incident that left veteran wrestler Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith hospitalized with serious injuries.
The attack occurred on August 23 at a KnokX Pro Wrestling event in Sun Valley, California. Video footage shows Raja Jackson entering the ring during Smith’s match, body-slamming the wrestler to the mat, and then delivering more than 20 punches to Smith’s head while he lay unconscious. Other wrestlers eventually intervened and pulled Jackson away from Smith, who was rushed to the hospital with multiple injuries including a fractured maxilla bone and the loss of several teeth.
