LOS ANGELES - Former "Survivor" contestant Jonny Fairplay filed a police report Wednesday, alleging that radio talk show host Danny Bonaduce threw him and knocked out his teeth during an awards show, police said.

The battery report was taken by police shortly before 2 a.m. at a Hollywood hospital where Fairplay was treated and released, Officer April Harding said.

"He had one tooth broken, another tooth missing from his gum line and two other teeth that were loose," she said.

The report, which listed Fairplay under his birth name of Jon Dalton, 33, said the reality show contestant was at an awards event when Bonaduce walked onto the stage without invitation and made a "derogatory statement" to Fairplay, Harding said.

"Dalton said he went to hug him and then when he did that, Bonaduce ... threw him over his shoulder ... and Dalton fell to the ground," Harding said.

"I guess he hit face first."

"The investigation's in its initial phase. Currently we don't have any plans to arrest Bonaduce," she said.

Fairplay, a wrestler and reality show contestant, came in third on the 2003 CBS show "Survivor: Pearl Islands" but was roundly condemned by viewers for concocting a lie that his grandmother was dead in order to win sympathy from competitors.

The incident took place during the Fox Reality Really Channel awards, which were being held at a nightclub on Sunset Boulevard. A videotape that aired on TMZ.com showed some audience members booing Fairplay, who was on stage as a presenter.

"Are you guys really booing?" Fairplay asked.

Bonaduce then comes onto the stage.

"They're booing 'cause they hate you" he said.

"That's a good thing, right?" a smiling Fairplay responded.

As Bonaduce walked away, Fairplay called after him. Then, still holding a microphone and with a look at the audience, he backed up and leaped onto Bonaduce, wriggling his legs. Bonaduce held him for a moment and then heaved him up over his head.

Bonaduce told TMZ that Fairplay "started to throttle me" and he threw him to stop the attack.

"I'm sorry he got hurt," he said.

However, Fairplay told TMZ he was giving Bonaduce a hug — one of his signature moves as a performer.

"It's a nice thing," he said.

Bonaduce "threw me over his head as hard as he could. ... I just went, like, mouth first into the stage," he said.

"It knocked one tooth out and then it moved three others ... there's like floating bones. One tooth is, like, shattered eight times. There's like eight breaks," Fairplay said.

Fairplay said he underwent 2 1/2 hours of dental surgery and needs additional work.

Asked if he had any last words to say to Bonaduce, he replied: "You're mean."

Danny has been making the rounds of talk shows letting people know that the police have decided NOT to arrest him. Apparently his actions were viewed as self defense.

Ok, rereading the above, I can see how it can be misconstrued that Danny was solely at fault here. However, I seen the video yesterday (the actual show I should say) of how this incident started and took place.

Mr. Fairplay (who doesn't play fair at all) jumped on Danny and proceeded to "hump" his privates near Danny's face. Now, I know I would be furious at anyone who would jump on me (while being drunk) and proceeded to rub and gyrate their privates in my face (unless it was John Travolta

). Danny merely pushed him off of himself and Mr. Fairplay being a drunk, fell on his face. He probably could have landed in such a way (putting his hands out) to protect himself, but the fact he was drunk, he just fell on his face. Seeing that piece of video it is so damn clear why the D.A. didn't press charges. What a piece of work that Fairplay is. He is supposed to be a "professional wrestler" yet he can't fall and protect himself because he is too drunk.

Later, one of the recipients of an award stated Fairplay had it coming to him because according to this recipient, Fairplay had warned him he (Fairplay) was going to jump on him and "hump him" when he gets his award on stage. I guess Fairplay decided instead to do it to Danny. Either way, this recipient said he would have done the exact same thing as he wouldn't want any man's genetalia being pushed into his face either.
