Former NBA star Amar'e Stoudemire was arrested in Miami after allegedly punching and slapping his teenage daughter, police records show. Stoudemire, 40, is charged with battery, Miami Police Department records show.

Stoudemire allegedly entered his daughter's room in his Miami home Saturday night and accused her of talking back to her grandmother. The 6'10'' former New York Knicks and Miami Heat center then punched her on the right side of her jaw, slapped her in the face — leaving her with a bloody nose — and then repeatedly slapped the "left side of her body," according to the police report. 

One of the officers who responded to the scene wrote in the report that he "observed blood stains on the victim's sweater and sweatpants."
