Forbes then fled the scene before police arrived. He was then arrested on Tuesday morning.
Last February, Forbes was taken into police custody on suspicion of assault with bodily injury, which is considered a misdemeanor. Forbes was believed to be in a relationship with the woman whom police said he struck when a verbal argument turned physical.
The woman did need medical assistance, police noted.
Forbes played for four teams over seven seasons after playing college basketball at Cleveland State and Michigan State. An undrafted free agent, he spent his first four seasons with the San Antonio Spurs.
He joined the Milwaukee Bucks as a free agent in 2021, where he won an NBA title. He returned to the Spurs the following season before being traded to the Denver Nuggets.
