10/1/2010 7:25 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
Mario -- the platinum-selling R&B singer -- was arrested in Baltimore this morning for allegedly assaulting his own mother in an apartment they share.
According to police, Mario's mother Shawntia Hardaway -- a former heroin addict -- told cops the former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant had been "throwing and damaging property" ... and pushed her around with his hands and forearms.
Cops say they found several broken items inside the apartment -- including a broken china cabinet, a busted mirror and a hole in the closet door.
Mario's mother also told police the 24-year-old singer had attacked her earlier in the week -- in which he pushed her "eight feet into a living room wall, where Ms. Hardaway hit her head on the wall."
Mario -- real name Mario Dewar Bennett -- was eventually arrested this morning for 2nd degree assault. He was released on $50,000 bond.
I'm not gonna beat up on him so quick... I saw that docu about his intervention with his mother called " I'm not gonna love you to death" it dealt with his mother's heroin addiction

Looks like Chris Rock. But wow...I gonna see how this turns out.
Mario, brother man, YOU NEVER HIT A WOMAN. You don't push her, you don't fucking throw her around. If she's high on crack, or whatever, or just out of her mind - LEAVE. Call the cops as many times as you have to. You create a paper trail, a history, and a personal boundary, when you do that. But you never put your hands on ya mama. Unless she's got a knife in her hand, or a gun or something crazy - just get out of the house/apt/trailer park.

Exactly! I'm 29 and I've never hit or pushed my mother. But then again, Mario doesn't seem very bright and dumb poeple tend to be more violent in my experience. It's the only thing they can think to do.

I say beat a women's ass, but not ya mama!!!!!!
J/K I'm just playing. BTW, I am a female and I believe neither men or women should put their hands on each other. I don't follow that double-standard shit.

I hate to hear this I like Mario and I hope he works it all out, but under no circumstances should a man ever hit a woman and one never raises a hand to their mother Mario's How Do I Breathe is one of my fav songs-hope he and moms work it out.

In a perfect world . . . .
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.
An attorney for R&B singer Mario has come forward to release a statement 24 hours following reports of his client being arrested for assaulting his mother.
According to a statement from Hassan Murphy, Mario is still supporting his mother despite the allegations.
"This is an unfortunate incident between a loving son and a mother who continues to struggle with a devastating addiction. Anyone who has waged the battle to save loved ones from the forces of drugs knows the irrational behavior that almost always accompanies their actions. Despite the allegations, Mario remains committed to supporting his mother." (VIBE)
