Former Knicks star Amar’e Stoudemire was arrested at his Miami condo on a domestic violence charge after allegedly punching one of his daughters in the jaw and drawing blood, according to the Miami Herald.
Stoudemire, 40, is facing a misdemeanor battery charge. He was booked Sunday at 4:09 a.m., according to Miami-Dade Corrections records, and bond was set at $1,500.
“I observed blood stains on the victim’s sweater and sweatpants,” the arrest report says, according to the Miami Herald. “The mother of the victim showed me the photo she received from her daughter, which shows the victim crying and blood running down her face.”

Stoudemire, a six-time All-Star, signed with the Knicks in 2010 after eight seasons with the Suns and played four-plus seasons in New York before the two sides agreed on a contract buyout in February 2015.
After a 2012 playoff loss to the Heat, Stoudemire bloodied up his left hand after punching the glass case of a fire extinguisher.
He then had stints with the Mavericks and Heat before playing in Israel and China. He was an assistant coach for the Nets for two seasons, leaving the team after last season.
