Eric Mabius, a well-known actor from the Hallmark channel and the TV series "Ugly Betty", was arrested early Thursday morning in Yulee, Florida, for simple battery and resisting arrest without violence. According to an arrest record obtained by Fox News Digital, Mabius allegedly "knocked" two women to the ground inside a Nassau County bar during an altercation around 2 a.m. local time. The actor, who appeared to have a black eye in his mug shot, faces two misdemeanor charges for battery and resisting arrest without violence.

The incident occurred when Mabius allegedly intervened in a situation involving an intoxicated woman who was bothering people in the bar. The woman, who was also arrested, was allegedly harassing another woman, and Mabius stepped in, knocking both women to the ground. According to a statement from the arresting officer, Mabius got on top of one of the women and started pulling her hair, ripping a handful of hair from her scalp. The situation was eventually brought under control by multiple people at the bar, who pulled Mabius and the intoxicated woman off the victim.

Mabius became "more belligerent" once officers brought him outside of the bar, refusing to follow simple commands to sit on a bench. At one point, he tried to stand up and walk behind the investigating officer, prompting several deputies to escort him back to the bench and place him under arrest for resisting without violence. The actor's case is currently awaiting trial, and he has been booked into the Nassau County Jail. Mabius is best known for his roles in Hallmark channel's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" series and as Daniel Meade on the TV series "Ugly Betty", as well as his appearances in other TV shows such as "The L Word".
