00:00All right, we have an update on Roger Jackson, the son of UFC legend Rampage Jackson.

00:05He's been taken into custody for the vicious beating he inflicted on a wrestler at an event back in August.

00:11So jail records viewed by The Post show that Jackson was arrested Thursday morning by the LAPD

00:16and booked shortly before 2 p.m. local time.

00:19So he's been charged for the brutal beating of Stuart Smith,

00:23who goes by Psycho Stew during a pro wrestling event in California back in August.

00:28He was charged with a felony, and online records show that he is being held on a $50,000 bond.

00:35Now, we are going to show the video of the incident, so if you don't like to see that type of stuff,

00:39then I encourage you to look away, but keep the sound up.

00:43Now, a viral video of the incident showed Jackson jump into the ring,

00:47slam Smith to the mat, and beat him while he was unconscious before other wrestlers jumped in to peel him off.

00:54Now, Smith's family released an update on his condition in late August,

00:59revealing that he was released from the hospital and that Smith had sustained a serious head injury

01:04and was unconscious upon arrival at the ER.

01:08His injuries include trauma to both the upper and lower jaws, a laceration to his upper lip,

01:14and a fracture to the maxilla bone, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of several teeth.

01:20Now, Jackson's father said during an interview that he had cut ties with his son,

01:25and Rampage even called for his son to do a little time in jail during the same interview.

01:31Now, there are other viral videos that show Psycho Stew hitting Raja in the face with a beer

01:36well before the incident occurred, but the video also shows that Stew thought that Raja was a wrestler

01:43and a part of the event.

01:45Now, the entire situation is wild.

01:46I have no clue what would make Raja Jackson snap like that.

01:50We'll have more information for you guys as it's released.
