“As we’ve seen in the past … the argument got out of hand quickly, because we’re told Ronnie allegedly slapped and punched Jen … who then went running out of the house, screaming for help,” TMZ reported. “Police got multiple 911 calls reporting the fact Jen was in distress.”

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Ortiz-Magro chased after Harley “allegedly with a knife in his hand, and horrifyingly, also with their infant daughter!” TMZ reported.
