Reality TV star Brittney Taylor was recently arrested following a dispute at her residence. She reportedly surrendered herself to the authorities last week after an arrest warrant was issued in her name.

Charges of assault, along with one for endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a weapon, have been imposed on Taylor.

The incident happened when the father of Taylor's children, Afeez, went to New York to meet the kids. The duo had already had a dispute for some time, and they argued after Afeez arrived at Taylor's residence, following which she hit him with a baseball bat.

The arrest warrant stated that Afeez was attacked when Taylor was leaving her residence with the kids, and the children also witnessed the attack. The legal documents submitted by Afeez mention that he was left with bruises and was bleeding, due to which he had to get stitches.
