Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton beat his girlfriend early Tuesday morning — just days after learning he was the father of her unborn child.
That's according to Davie, Fla., police, who charged him with aggravated battery of a pregnant person.
The Dolphins cut Walton upon learning of the arrest.
Davie police say around 4:15 a.m. Tuesday, the unnamed victim and Walton got into an argument. Walton ultimately pushed his girlfriend "against a wall and punched her several times in the head and face," according to the police report, leaving the victim with swelling on her left eye.
She was five weeks pregnant with their child, and had told Walton about the pregnancy Sunday.

Manfred hopes for answer before April
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred hopes the investigation into sign stealing by the Astros will be complete by next season and says he has authority to impose discipline beyond the loss of amateur draft picks.
Oakland pitcher Mike Fiers says that when he was with Houston in 2017, the Astros stole signs during home games by using a camera positioned in center field.
