A frantic pregnant woman told a 911 operator she had been hit and was in pain shortly before actor Ryan O'Neal was arrested for alleged assault and firing a weapon.
February 7, 2007 (Press Release) --
In recordings released Monday by the Sheriff's Department, JoAnne Berry, who authorities described as a friend of O'Neal's son, Griffin O'Neal, pleaded for an ambulance.
"I got hit by something. I can't see. Help me! Help me!" Berry said, as an unidentified man in the background asked her where her keys and bag were.
"I'm in a lot of pain. ... I need an ambulance," Berry said.
In a call from the Malibu sheriff's station to California Highway Patrol, a dispatcher said Berry reported being hit in the eye.
Berry did not say in her call who hit her or the object used.
Sheriff's deputies arrested O'Neal early Saturday at his Malibu home for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm. He was booked and released on a $50,000 bond.
The district attorney's office, which would determine whether to file charges, had not received the case by late Monday, said spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons.
Accounts of who started the altercation differed sharply, with O'Neal saying he was defending himself against an enraged son and the actor's daughter claiming her father was lying.
The incident happened after O'Neal arrived home after dining out with a group of friends, including his former girlfriend Farrah Fawcett, according to O'Neal's manager and a friend who attended the dinner. The group had been celebrating Fawcett's 60th birthday and that she was cancer-free after four months of treatment.
