America's Next Top Model judge Rob Evans has turned himself in to police on a felony assault charge.
TMZ report that British model Evans arrived at Beverly Hills Police Department on Wednesday morning and was released 25 minutes later after posting $60,000 bail.
A warrant was issued for Evan's arrest following a fight in March in Beverly Hills.
Sources close to Evans - a former boxer - told TMZ that Evans wasn't aware that there was a warrant out on him and turned himself after learning of it and consulting lawyers.
They add that Evans says the alleged victim was 'trash-talking Evans when he reared up as if to attack him, so Evans laid him out.'
Evans says the punch was in self-defence.
No court date has been set.
The British male model is also Tyra Banks’ rumoured 'significant other' and joined the cast of the hit reality show this year.
According to ABC News, Lieutenant Lincoln Hoshino said a warrant for Mr Evans has been issued in connection with the assault that took place at Next Modeling agency offices in Beverly Hills on March 14.
Although rumours have been rife that he and Ms Banks are item, Mr Evans told the Banbury Guardian that they were never 'officially dating,' despite being seen out together at numerous dinners.
Ms Banks, America's Next Top Model creator and host, recently took to Twitter to announce that next season the show is to get an injection of testosterone, as male contestants will be accepted for the first time.
She wrote: 'ANTM 20. Bring on the boys!'
Both male and female models will live in the same house, and all will battle it out to be crowned winner.The host shook up the series when she parted ways with Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel and J Alexander.
The three were replaced with Mr Evans, Johnny Wujek as photo shoot creative consultant and social media correspondent Bryanboy.
The judge panel for the current Cycle 19, which stars college students, also saw the addition of Kelly Cutrone.
