Raja Jackson has been arrested in connection with the violent assault of professional wrestler Stuart Smith — known in the ring as Syko Stu — during a wrestling event in August.

According to jail records reviewed by The Post, Jackson was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department on Thursday morning and was booked shortly before 2 p.m. local time. He faces a felony charge and is currently being held on $50,000 bond. TMZ was the first to report news of his arrest Thursday evening.

The incident occurred during a KnokX Pro Wrestling event in California, where Jackson allegedly entered the ring without warning, slammed Smith to the mat, and continued to assault him while he was unconscious. The attack was only stopped when other wrestlers intervened and pulled Jackson off.

Following the incident, the LAPD launched an investigation. In a later interview with combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani, Raja Jackson’s father — former UFC star Quinton “Rampage” Jackson — revealed he had distanced himself from his son.

“He dishonored my name,” Rampage Jackson said. “I know he’s my f–king son. I’m not cutting him off forever. I just haven’t talked to him. I talked to him after this s–t happened and he hid the fact that he did this s–t and, you know, put my other kids at danger based off what other people said. I just can’t talk to him right now.”

He also stated that he believed his son should serve time in jail for the assault.

Smith’s family provided a medical update in late August, confirming he had been released from the hospital. The statement detailed that Smith suffered a severe head injury and was unconscious upon arriving at the emergency room. His injuries included trauma to both jaws, a laceration on his upper lip, and a fractured maxilla bone, resulting in the loss of several teeth.
