Bam Margera has surrendered himself to police in Pennsylvania after going on the run.

As reported by TMZ, Pennsylvania State Police has confirmed to the outlet that the 43-year-old former Jackass star Margera has been preliminarily arraigned and set a bail of $50,000.

Margera handed himself in on Thursday (April 27), police confirmed.

It comes after a warrant for the daredevil's arrest was issued following a physical altercation involving Margera and his brother.

Per Sky News, the Jackass star allegedly punched his brother in the face at their family home in Pocopson Township, Chester County in Philadelphia on Monday.

Police have said that before arriving at the property, Margera fled into dense woods and has not been seen since.

The incident occurred at around 11:00AM (local time) and the investigation concluded that the former Jackass star was "involved in a physical confrontation" with his brother, who sustained minor injuries.

The victim, Jesse Margera, stated that the 43-year-old left him a threatening handwritten note signed "Bam", and that on the morning of the assault, the attacker was banging on his locked bedroom door. TMZ also reports that police say Margera threatened to harm himself with a firearm.

Margera is currently charged with simple assault, harassment, and four counts of "terroristic threats", and police are asking anybody with information on his whereabouts to come forward.
