"Jackson, 25, will be charged with one count of felony battery that caused serious bodily injury and one count of misdemeanor battery in connection with an incident at a KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy event in Sun Valley on Aug. 23, according to a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office. Prosecutors will also seek a sentencing enhancement because Jackson allegedly caused Stuart Smith to suffer great bodily injury."
"Los Angeles police arrested Jackson on suspicion of felony assault last month, but he was released on $50,000 bail. Police did not present a case to prosecutors for charging until late last week, authorities said. Jackson is expected to appear in court for an arraignment later this week. The younger Jackson - who is also a trained mixed martial artist - was a guest at the event and was live streaming his visit on the platform Kick when he was approached backstage by Smith."
Raja Jackson, 25, will face one felony count of battery causing serious bodily injury and one misdemeanor battery count for an Aug. 23 incident at a KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy event in Sun Valley. Prosecutors will seek a sentencing enhancement after Stuart Smith, known as Syko Stu, lost several teeth and suffered a lacerated lip. Video shows Jackson body-slam the wrestler and punch him in the head and face more than 20 times. Jackson was arrested last month, released on $50,000 bail, is expected to be arraigned this week, and was live-streaming on Kick when the confrontation occurred.
