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.

Oliver Martinez was injured during a ‘brutal fight’ with his fiance Halle Berry‘s ex lover Gabriel Aubry, which left both men hospitalized and saw Aubry charged with misdemeanor 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.
