Matthew Rush arrested for assault, claims self defense

Last week, former porn star Matthew Rush was arrested and charged with assault. He was released the next day, pending a trial.

According to the police report, the altercation took place between Rush and his ex-boyfriend at a home they shared. The ex told Rush "to leave the residence and when he was not leaving fast enough he pushed him several times towards the front door."

That's when Rush "punched [the victim] in his mouth with a closed fist which caused him to start bleeding from his lips."

The two had been living together for about nine months, but broke up several weeks ago.

Rush initially claimed that his ex was injured after running into his forearm. He later told police he punched his former partner in self defense after being pushed.

We're not sure this case will go much further if, indeed, the ex was the first to get physical, but we'll let you know when new information gets released.
