A 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 in an altercation with his son.
In recordings released by the Los Angeles sheriff, JoAnne Berry, a friend of Mr O'Neal's son Griffin, says she "can't see" and asks 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.
Berry did not say in her call who hit her or the object used.
O'Neal was arrested at his Malibu home on Saturday for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm.
He was booked and released on a $50,000 bond.
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.
