Hip-hop radio personality Ed Lover was arrested Thursday morning and charged with two counts of third-degree assault, one count of attempted assault and one count of second-degree harassment following an incident early Sunday morning in a New York nightclub.

Lover (real name James Roberts) is accused of punching a 26-year-old woman in the left cheek. The blow left the victim with a mild concussion and a gash requiring 20 stitches. According to police records, Lover, who works the afternoon shift on New York's Power 105.1, turned himself over to the authorities with attorney Michael Berger by his side. Lover was arraigned later that afternoon and released on $1,000 bail.

He is due in court on March 23.

According to court documents, Lover — a former Yo! MTV Raps host and occasional actor — was at club Duvet with a group of friends when the victim bumped into one of his female companions. The two women started fighting and one of the club's bouncers intervened. Lover allegedly worked his way around the bouncer and punched the victim in the face.

Police had been looking to question Lover about the incident for most of the week.
