2024 bronze medalist Fred Kerley was arrested on Thursday, days before he was set to compete at a track meet, for allegedly striking his ex-girlfriend.

According to TMZ, citing an arrest report, Dania Beach police arrived at a south Florida hotel before 8:00 a.m. ET after Olympic hurdler Alaysha Johnson claimed Kerley hit her during a conditioning appointment for the meet.

Kerley said he was "going to f–k everyone up in here up," Johnson reportedly said.

Kerley is reportedly alleged to have hit Johnson in the face, causing her nose to bleed. Police reportedly said the injuries "were consistent with her statements."

Kerley was set to run in the 100-meter dash on Saturday and the 200-meter on Sunday at the Grand Slam Track event this weekend. The event later confirmed that Kerley would not compete.

The New York Post reported that Kerley had been booked on a first-degree misdemeanor charge.

Back in January, Kerley was hit with a domestic violence charge in an unrelated incident from last year, after he was arrested following an altercation with police.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital, Kerley and his wife got into a verbal, and then physical, dispute on May 6, 2024 - his birthday - when Kerley's wife was in contact with an "unknown person on Instagram."
