TMZ is reporting that Columbus Short, known as Harrison on ABC’s popular drama, ‘Scandal’, is being investigated by police after a bar fight which resulted in a man being hospitalized.

Short was at a bar on March 15th celebrating the engagement of a friend. According to a source, a partygoer made a comment to Short regarding his wife…and the gladiator LOST IT.

An eyewitness says the man had a broken nose and was knocked unconscious for several minutes. Short quickly left the bar before an ambulance arrived for the man.

Police are now conducting a criminal battery investigation, and Short’s rep has yet to comment.

Apparently this is not Short’s first brush with violence. In 2010 he got in an argument during a basketball game at an LA Fitness gym, and he punched a player and knocked out several teeth.

Harrison, you’re supposed to be wearing the WHITE HAT!! Get your act together, gladiator. Olivia Pope would be disappointed in your sloppiness.
