WWE star Ludwig Kaiser was arrested in Florida after allegedly assaulting a neighbour during an argument that police say began over inappropriate behaviour inside an elevator.

Kaiser, whose real name is Marcel Barthel, was taken into custody on Wednesday on a misdemeanour battery charge following an incident at a luxury apartment building in Orlando, according to a police report obtained by TMZ. Police said the altercation happened on the night of April 23 when Kaiser, his girlfriend and a neighbour entered an elevator together inside the building where both men reportedly live.

According to the report, Kaiser and the woman began kissing inside the lift as it travelled upwards, with officers describing the behaviour as becoming increasingly intimate in front of the neighbour. When the elevator reached the 12th floor, the neighbour allegedly told the couple to “please have some manners.”

The comment reportedly angered Kaiser, who police say then attacked the neighbour and shoved him to the ground. Authorities also alleged that Kaiser threatened the man during the confrontation. The neighbour later reported the incident to law enforcement.

Investigators said security footage from the building helped identify the wrestler, leading to his arrest on a warrant this week. Kaiser was booked into the Orange County Jail before later being released after posting $1,000 bail.
