Jackass star Bam Margera has reportedly been arrested at a restaurant in Burbank, California.

It's reported that the 43-year-old got into an argument with a woman at the location, where his estranged wife and son were said to be eating. It's not clear whether the woman involved was his wife - who filed for legal separation from Bam in February - or not.

According to reports, the dispute at the Thai restaurant got louder which is said to have led to enforcement officers being called.

Sources say the officers were called to the disturbance at around 3.45pm on Wednesday and found the reality TV star arguing with a woman.

The law enforcement source told TMZ Bam was arrested and booked for misdemeanour public intoxication.

Videos on social media appear to show an upset Bam at the restaurant, with the star walking in and out of the restaurant while police attend the scene.

The Mirror has contacted Bam's representatives for comment.

Earlier this year, Bam spoke about his health issues of late. Talking to former Jackass co-star Steve-O on his Wild Ride podcast, Bam described how he had been "basically pronounced dead" following four seizures in which he swallowed blood.

Incorrectly referencing Elvis Presley's birthday, the professional skateboarder told his pal: "I basically was pronounced dead on Elvis' birthday December 8th, did not know that I had like gnarly Covid, my body was shutting down and I went into four seizures."

He claimed each of his seizures lasted about 10 and 20 minutes and said he bit his tongue during the last one which led to complications as he began swallowing his blood.

Bam continued: "I bit my tongue so hard it was like nearly falling off, it got so swollen and puffy it wouldn't fit in my mouth and I was drinking the infected blood which gave me pneumonia as well."

Following a fifth seizure, Bam claimed he was unable to breath without the help of a tube, so he was left needing ICU treatment in San Diego for over a week.
