His face bruised and battered, a scuffed and swollen hand held out of harm's way, Olivier Martinez headed home from hospital on Thursday afternoon.
The French actor was injured during a 'brutal fight' with his fiance Halle Berry's ex lover Gabriel Aubry, which left both men hospitalised and saw Aubry charged with misdemanour battery.
The shocking brawl came as Aubry dropped off his daughter Nahla at Halle's house on Thanksgiving morning.

Olivier reportedly tried to speak to Aubry about the ongoing custody dispute between him and Halle. 
After Olivier said to Gabriel 'We have to move on,' the Canadian model is said to have pushed the French actor and tried to punch him before a full blown fight broke out.
 
Gabriel and Halle - who split in 2010 - have been at odds ever since she tried to convince a judge to allow her to move to France with Nahla, a move which was recently blocked by the courts.

Onlookers told TMZ the fight was 'brutal', with the website describing a blow-by-blow account of the melee.
A source said: 'Olivier blocked [Gabriel's punch] and the punch struck him in the shoulder instead... Gabriel then pushed Olivier to the ground, a struggle ensued, ending when Olivier pinned Gabriel to the ground.'
Olivier performed a citizen's arrest on his love rival, before police were called to the scene and arrested Aubry for battery. He was charged upon his discharge from hospital and released after meeting the $20,000 bail.
Andrew Smith, Commanding Officer, LAPD Media Relations and Community Affairs Group, told People: He [Aubry] was booked for a private persons arrest for battery.'

A judge then issued an emergency protective order - meaning Aubry has to stay 100 yards away from Halle and Olivier, as well as his daughter Nahla.
Gabriel was taken to hospital for his injuries after suffering a broken rib, bruises to the face and a possible more serious head injury, with there being conflicting reports as to whether he was left unconscious following the bloody brawl. 
Olivier has a potentially broken hand and neck injuries., and arrived at the same Los Angeles hospital for treatment as Gabriel around an hour after him.

It is unclear whether four-year-old Nahla witnessed the fight between her father and future stepfather. 
However sources told TMZ that Halle rushed her daughter inside to prevent her seeing the dramatic fight.
However, the youngster was later seen being carried in her mother's arms as the anxious looking actress arrived home with Olivier following his discharge from hospital.

Martinez, who has apparently become increasingly bitter during the custody battle, is said to be keen to press charges, TMZ reports.
A source told TMZ: 'Gabriel went nuts in front of Halle and other witnesses.'
However, details about the argument are unclear because both men were speaking in French.

Gabriel, a French-Canadian model who lives and works in Los Angeles, had petitioned the court to stop Halle's plans to move to France with Nahla.
He argued it would give him limited access to his daughter, while the Cloud Atlas actress countered the privacy laws are stronger in France and would keep Nahla safe from the paparazzi.
She said at the time: 'Our issues were never about fighting for her. We both know a child needs both her parents. But what I want to say about it is sometimes, as a couple, you reach an impasse. 
'We needed a court and a judge to help us work out some of the delicate issues, and I'm so happy we've arrived at that place – because for her sake, this is the best way. We both love her more than life.'
Halle, 46 - who split with Gabriel in 2010 - and Olivier, had put their wedding plans on hold while the actress focused on her custody battle.

Aubry filed legal papers in December 2010, seeking formal recognition as Nahla's father, as well as joint legal and physical custody. 
At the time, a representative for the actress said: 'Halle has serious concerns for her daughter's well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time.'
But a spokesperson for the model soon responded: 'The fact is that Gabriel is a caring father who shares custody of Nahla.'
Just 24 hours prior to the vicious spat, Halle, Oliver and Gabriel all attended an early Thanksgiving celebration in Los Angeles with Nahla. 
While Halle and Olivier picked up Nahla from school and drove her to the party, her father took her home with him on Wednesday.
The Oscar-winning actress looked strained as she left the event carrying a feathered headpiece and jacket belonging to her daughter.

In her custody battle, Halle claimed Los Angeles was not the ideal place for her daughter to grow up, due to the constant glare of the paparazzi.
She has insisted that it was not an attempt to keep Nahla's model father away from her.
The Monster's Ball actress made a rare comment about her custody battle with Gabriel to InStyle magazine this month.
'There is turbulence, but this too shall pass,' she said.
Halle and Gabriel split in April 2010 after more than four years of dating, and she soon began a relationship with actor Olivier. They confirmed their engagement in March.

Halle has previously said being a mother to little Nahla has made her feel 'complete' as a person.
She explained in an interview with Essence magazine: 'I'm complete. I have more to offer my craft because [my daughter] makes me indelibly better every day.'
Prior to their split, Gabriel had even spoken about giving their daughter a sibling. 
He told People: 'Nahla needs a sibling. I think it's important. I've never known anybody who's had a single child [and] I've always been around big families. I believe in big families.'

Gabriel Aubry has been arrested for battery following a 'brutal' Thanksgiving Day brawl with Olivier Martinez.
The model - who is the father of Halle Berry's four-year-old daughter Nahla - reportedly attacked the actress' French fiance Olivier on Thursday morning when he was dropping the child back at Halle's house - but came off worse in the fight.
Police were called to the home and Gabriel was taken to hospital for his injuries after suffering a broken rib, bruises to the face and a possible more serious head injury, TMZ reports.

Olivier has a possible broken hand and neck injuries, which could be seen when he and Halle arrived at a friend's house on Thursday with Nahla.
He arrived at the same Los Angeles hospital for treatment as Gabriel around an hour after him, according to the website.
The drama went down inside Halle's home at around 10am after Gabriel dropped off their daughter Nahla in a custodial handover.
Martinez apparently approached Aubry and said: 'We have to move on,' - a reference to the recent custody battle which blocked Halle from moving to France with Nahla.

Halle Berry and boyfriend Olivier Martinez attend a Thanksgiving party with her ex Gabriel Aubry and daughter Nahla


Days after losing her bitter custody battle, Halle Berry and boyfriend Olivier Martinez attend a Thanksgiving party with her ex Gabriel Aubry and daughter Nahla


The holidays are always a tricky time for parents embroiled in a bitter break up.
And just days after Halle Berry lost her court battle with ex Gabriel Aubry to move their daughter Nahla to Paris, where she hoped to join new love Olivier Martinez, all the players in the drama spent the afternoon together at an early Thanksgiving party in Los Angeles.
The Oscar winning actress looked strained as she left the event carrying a feathered headpiece and jacket belonging to her daughter, but not the child.

Dressed casually in a pair of baggy exercise pants, long sleeved T-shirt and flip flops, the 46-year-old held on tightly to the French actor's hand.
The couple - who announced their engagement in January - seemed determined not to let the court's ruling affect their relationship, but the pair must be having to make adjustments now that Halle will not be relocating to Europe as she hoped.
Nahla's father Gabriel Aubry won a case blocking the move, claiming it would make it difficult for him to sustain his close relationship with the four-year-old.
While Halle and Olivier picked up Nahla from school and took her to the party, her father took her home with him.

Halle Berry reveals more than she bargained for in paper-thin bra and sheer top


Halle Berry reveals more than she bargained for in paper-thin bra and sheer top 

    After a weekend of pouring rain, Angelenos were quick to embrace the warm summer days that returned... and Halle Berry was no different. 
The 46-year-old beauty, who wanted to move to France where the l'Automne isn't quite so gentle, decided to enjoy an al fresco lunch at Cafe Med in West Hollywood. 
Given the sultry day, Halle opted for a sheer elegant grey blouse that showed off her womanly form.

It seemed the Academy Award winner was wearing a paper-thin bra, resulting in Halle revealing perhaps just a little more than she bargained for.
The actress seemed cheerier than she's been since losing her fight to move four-year-old daughter Nahla to France.
Halle and Nahla's father Gabriel Aubry attended court on November 9 where the judge made the ruling that the four-year-old will stay in the US, according to TMZ.
The former couple have been embroiled in a custody battle over Nahla for several months.

Halle was arguing that Los Angeles was not the ideal place for her daughter to grow up, due to the glare of the paparazzi.
She has insisted that it was not an attempt to keep Nahla's model father away from her.
But Gabriel was arguing that having his daughter live thousands of miles away would render it extremely difficult for him to remain a part of her life.
Halle spoke out about the situation in a recent interview, where she claimed the move would be in Nahla's best interests.
'It's the appeal of privacy and a greater sense of safety for Nahla,' she told InStyle magazine.
'Because we are followed all the time, she is starting to feel like she is somehow special, and of course she is, but I want her to understand that she's special because of who she is, not because she was born into this celebrity blender.'
Halle also made a rare comment about her custody battle with Gabriel.
'There is turbulence, but this too shall pass,' she said.
Halle and Gabriel split in April 2010 after more than four years of dating, and she began a relationship with actor Olivier after they met on the set of the panned movie, Dark Tide.They confirmed their engagement in March.
