Former boxing champ Vinny Paz was arrested for domestic violence in Rhode Island early Thursday morning after cops say he beat up his girlfriend and then tried to hide inside of his home.
The Warwick Police Dept. says it had to use force to break down Paz's garage and enter the home to apprehend the 55-year-old around 3 A.M.
Cops initially received a call from a member of Paz's GF's family who said Paz got violent. The woman reportedly suffered injuries to her face.
When cops arrived, the woman was taken from the scene in a stretcher.
