Christine Quinn’s husband Christian Richard was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon in LA on Tuesday after he threw a bag of glass at his wife but struck their toddler son.
Richard, 45, who wed the ex Selling Sunset star, 35, in 2019, was seen being led away in handcuffs by officers while barefoot and clad in only a bathrobe after the incident involving the couple’s only child Christian Georges Dumontet, two.
The millionaire retired tech entrepreneur looked somber as he was spoken to by officers on the curb outside his Hollywood Hills home – before he was placed in a police car.
Multiple police cars were also seen parked outside the couple’s home. Quinn was not seen at the time of the arrest.
LAPD spokesman Jeff Lee told DailyMail.com: ‘A victim and a suspect were involved in a domestic dispute when the suspect threw a bag at the victim with a glass bottle inside of it. It missed the victim, but that object struck a child.

‘The suspect was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.’
TMZ has confirmed Christian and Christine’s son was transported to the hospital on Tuesday via ambulance with Christine by his side.
The publication reports Quinn was offered an emergency protective order against Richard which she accepted and which will be in effect for seven days.
Richard’s bail is set at $30,000, per LA County Sheriff’s records.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Quinn for comment.
Christine and Christian met through a mutual friend before he proposed on Valentine’s Day in 2019.
The reality star told Bustle in 2020 about their first date: ‘Him and I had an amazing steak dinner and got to know each other, and we just hit it off right away.
‘He’s everything that I ever wanted,’ she said. ‘And then [my friend’s] like, “Also, he’s looking for a house,” and I was like: double bonus.’
The couple tied the knot in December 2019 in an unconventional gothic winter wonderland-themed wedding at a downtown Los Angeles cathedral.
‘I’ve never conformed to the status quo or societal expectations,’ she said.

On the topic of the theme, Quinn told People about foregoing a typical white wedding dress, ‘I’ve always enjoyed being bold, different, and trendsetting. I’ve always wanted to get married in a black wedding dress, and I’m so happy that my dream came true.’
The star previously revealed that she was ‘really, really sick on her wedding day’ and has since discovered she had coronavirus.
Talking to Goss Chats, she said: ‘I was really, really sick on my wedding day. I actually had, which I now know, was corona.’
‘I got really sick in late December and we were travelling. I was sick for about a month when we were filming.
‘I couldn’t even have a bachelorette party, I was so bummed about that. That time was such a high but a low at the same time.’
Richard had a successful career in software engineering and attending prestigious university MIT.
He created American online food ordering service Foodler which he later sold to competitor GrubHub in 2017 for a $51 million – allowing him to retire aged just 38.
He is worth $20million while Christine is worth $2million.
Christine left Selling Sunset at the end of season five, a move her former boss Jason Oppenheim, 45, agreed with.

Throughout the first five seasons, viewers watched as Quinn sold luxurious and exclusive homes and properties as well as getting involved in drama with her costars.
‘I think people were tired of watching that dynamic continue season after season,’ Oppenheim told Page Six.
‘So I think, if anything, it’s provided a breath of fresh air for the office and for the show.’
In her last season Christine was accused of trying to bribe a client.
And although she denied allegations, Oppenheim just wants to leave the drama and controversy behind.
‘It’s not the type of drama that I enjoyed being a professional real estate broker,’ he said.
He added: ‘I wasn’t happy with the types of issues being brought to my attention. I think it ran its course.’
