WWE Superstar Ludwig Kaiser, who also portrays El Grande Americano, was arrested yesterday in Orange County, Florida and charged with battery.
According to publicly released documents of the arrest, Kaiser had an altercation with another man, Richard Reap, who he assaulted outside an elevator in his apartment building a few days ago.
In an affidavit filed by Reap, he said he entered in the elevator and was followed by a man and a woman and as the elevator started going up, the duo started acting “in an uncontrollably intimate manner,” kissing aggressively in front of him.
As the elevator reached the 12th floor, Reap exited and told the two to “please have some manners,” at which point, Kaiser attacked him, punching him multiple times and pushing him to the ground. He added that the WWE Superstar made threats of additional violence toward him.
Reap later told police officers he’d like to press criminal charges.
“I observed a large, fresh scratch on the back of Reap’s head, along with redness in the same area, consistent with a recent physical altercation,” the police report said.
Kaiser was identified and then arrested after he turned himself in. He was transferred to the Orange County Corrections Department and released on $1,000 bail.
The German’s mugshot was published by the RecentlyBooked.com website.
