Margera Detained By Cops After Street Brawl

Jackass star Bam Margera was detained by police in New York on Sunday (11Sep11) after a fight with a taxi driver.

Cops tracked the stuntman down as he walked away from the altercation after the driver flagged down a passing patrol car.

But Margera insisted the cabbie started the fight by calling a female companion a "slut" and then grabbed her hair after she spat at him outsidebiker bar the Hogs and Heifers Saloon.

The TV and film star then reportedly reached into the cab through a window and started attacking the driver.

The Jackass star tells Tmz.com that the cops "couldn't figure out who to arrest," so both parties were allowed to walk away.
