An arrest warrant has been issued for Jackass star Bam Margera after he allegedly got into a physical altercation and fled the scene.

The Pennsylvania State Police issued the following statement: "On April 23, at 11:00 a.m, troopers from the PSP Avondale Station responded to the 400 block of Hickory Hill Road, in Pocopson Township, Chester County, for a reported disturbance.

"The investigation determined Brandon ‘Bam’ Margera, age 43, of Thornton, PA, was involved in a physical confrontation with the victim, who suffered minor injuries."

They added: "Margera fled into a wooded area prior to the arrival of PSP and has not been located at this time."

The police urged anyone with information on the star's whereabouts to contact PSP Avondale at the non-emergency number.

Bam's legal troubles have worsened in recent months, with the 43-year-old having been arrested for public intoxication in Los Angeles at the end of March.

He's said to have got into an argument with a woman at a restaurant in Burbank, California, where his estranged wife and son were said to be eating.

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

Police did not clarify whether the woman involved was his wife - who filed for legal separation from Bam in February - or not.

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.

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

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.

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 said: "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.
