Alexandra Ivkovic, a former Miss Universe Australia finalist who gave birth to the couple’s son in July, was left suffering cuts to her shoulder, leg and feet and was treated by ambulance paramedics on Thursday night.
Walker, a high-profile Manly Sea Eagles centre, was arrested and charged with domestic violence-related common assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
According to police sources, the alleged incident was sparked before 5pm after the pair had a fight over a video game system, which is believed to be a PlayStation.
Ms Ivkovic ran out of the three-bedroom home on Prescott Ave, Dee Why, and was allegedly pursued by Walker.
